In my family history research, I came across a distant relative who once lived in Logan. Her maiden name was Nellie JONES, born in California in 1868. Her parents were Eleanor and Hugh JONES. Her mother was my great-great grandmother's sister. By the 1880 census, she had lost her father and was living with her mother and three other siblings in Salt Lake City. She married Frank HARRIS in Logan in 1890 in the Logan Temple. I am not sure how many children they had, but I have found two of them: Nellie HARRIS, born 1894 and Frank H HARRIS, born 1896, died 1901. In 1904, Frank HARRIS married another person, Rosa HUGHES. I do not know whether Nellie passed away or whether they divorced, if so, whether she re- married or not. If anyone can help me find her predecessors, please contact Liz at lmahjhrin@yahoo.com
