"A Brief History of the Life of Clara Jones by Clara Jones". " I was born to parents who had not joined our church, the 9th of November, 1878 in Ogden, Weber, Utah., I lived in Ogden until five years of age when I moved with my parents to Bountiful, Utah, at which place we lived until I was nine years old. At that time my mother died and left my father and three children, two brothers and I. We then moved back to Ogden and made our home with my mothers sister Ida Stratford. At that time I began to receive a religious training as my Aunt and her family were true Later Day Saints. I attended all of the orginizations for the young and was soon desirouse of being baptized. This I recieved in the year 1893 at age 15. In that same year I, with my Aunt and Uncle attended the dedication of the Salt Lake Temple.
In the year 1897, I became acquainted with Edward Jones, A member of the Later Day Saint Church. About this time I received a Patriacal Blessing from Patriarch Green Taylor in which I was told I was of the Blood of Ephriam. I was promised that I should become a Savior in my Fathers house. I was also promised that I should have a companion and should also become a great Mother in Israel. That I should be guided and led to come forth in a despensation where I could labor for the dead. In the year of 1899, the 26th of June, I was married to Edward Jones, in the Salt Lake Temple by Joseph Smith, also Endowed there.
To us have been born three daughters, all of whom are interested in their Church duties. In the year 1907, I was called to work in the Relief Society as a teacher and have labored in that capacity ever since. In 1926, I was called to work as a teacher in the Primary in the Ninth Ward in Ogden. I worked among the Children for two years at which time the Primary became unorganized. About the yer 1930, I was called to work Geneological Society of the Ninth Ward, Mount Odgen Stake, for which priviladge I thank the Lord. I also rejoice that I have been priviladged to go to the Logan Temple and do the work for my Mother, Two years after my Mothers death my Father married a Latter day saint woman and through her efferts and his own investigations, he was converted and joined the church. Later he was converted and endowed to his wives and was sealed for time and eternity.
I realize that I have a great work to preform in saving my kindred dead. I have a Father, Mother, Brothers and a Sister all on the other side. I being the only one left of a family of seven and the only one of my people doing temple work at the present time. This is my Mission which will earn for me the blessings I hope here after to enherit, if I contioue to be faithful.."
