In the news

Maryville Times, 19 Aug 1891.
While looking through articles on Newspapers.com, I stumbled onto this clipping mentioning the marriage of my 3rd-great-grandfather Joseph Jones and his second wife, Amanda Cooper Irwin in Maryville, Blount County, Tennessee. I previously posted a copy of their marriage license in December 2013. They later divorced on 30 April 1897.

Another clipping shows Joseph, my 2nd-great-grandfather Thomas Robert Jones and Robert O. Snoddy (husband of Nancy Cornelia Jones, Joseph's daughter) in Maryville, Tennessee feeding 35 hogs for the spring market in 1886. By the next year, Thomas returned to Boone County, Indiana and married my 2nd-great-grandmother Sarah Ellen Armstrong. Robert and Nancy eventually moved to Oklahoma.

The clipping below mentions "Lum Jones' father" - Joseph Jones. In 1894, Joseph renewed the subscription to the Maryville Times for his son Marion Columbus Jones, although "Lum" had moved to Oklahoma.
Maryville Times, 3 Jan 1894.
Maryville is located south of Knoxville. After his divorce from Amanda Irwin, Joseph returned to Jefferson County, Tennessee and married Martha Cordelia Hart.
