Notes

The Frank Jones Album Series of the Zenia Gilbert Collection was assembled by Frank Blair Jones [1879-1951] - husband of Lydia White, son of Ephraim McClelland Jones and Julia Ann Henderson. Frank was a U.S. Navy veteran and bandmaster. He was very interested in early local history and served as curator at the Greene County Historical Society. The album was passed from Frank Blair Jones [1879-1951] to his son Frank E. Jones [1919-1993]. Frank's niece, Valerie (daughter of William Ephraim Rodman Jones, granddaughter of Frank Blair Jones) received the album after her uncle's passing. Valerie arranged for the album to be maintained locally in the custody of Violet Elizabeth (Stockdale) Gilbert [1918-2006]. Violet's mother was Rachel Jane (Jones) Stockdale, sister to Frank Blair Jones. Violet passed the album to her daughter Zenia Gilbert who shared the photographs with the Greene Connections: Greene County, Pennsylvania Archives Project in 2015.
