    Notes:


    The information we have about Harvey is a bit sketchy. On 05 Mar. 2001 Elaine Jonas Chaloupka made this statement about her Uncle Harvey: "Harvey Jones was an Air Force Col. he died when he was around 50. ( I think) He died in Texas from heart trouble. He had a wife named Dorothy and a son Byron, who also died at the age of 50. Aunt Dot is still alive I think. She was asked if she ever met Harvey: "Yes I met them they were very nice and talked with a southern accent. only saw them twice in my life. Aunt Dot is an American Indian." She was asked if Harvey was older than Frederick: "He was older than Grandpa. I think the oldest or second oldest. Grandpa was the youngest boy."

    On notes written from speaking with Marie Jonas wife of Frederick Jonas: She stated: "Harvey entered the service when he was 17."

    Notes:

    Frederich Heinrich Theodor Jonas moved to Minnesota and married Ida Bert ha Mathilde White Freitag

    Emmath was born in Marshall or Lynd, Lyon County, Minnesota. The family then moved to North Dakota with Fred's brothers Herman and John . The men became partners on a farm and appear on the 1910 Census for Pierce Co. North Dakota. (the county Harry and maybe Harvey were born). Howard, Ida's first son was living with them at the time, Adeline was not. Fred was born in Devil's Lake, Ramsey County North Dakota (Did the family move? or were they visiting?) Township 157 Range 71 Pierce Co. ND. Household 100 Reviewing land records of 1910, they did not own land at this time. http://www.odessa3.org/collections/land/nodak/link/pierce10.txt

    In 1920 Fred was unemployed living with the family on Ida's brother's farm in Birch Coulee Township, Morton, Renville County Minnesota.

    Fred lived in Bird (Island) at the time of his father's death in 1934.

    According to William F. Blum, sometime after Oct. 1934 (after the birth of his grandson Winton) Fred T. Sr., Emmath and Martha (Blum) Jonas their baby son Winton, Fred W. Jr. and Lydia lived on the farm of William F. Blum in Gibson Twp., Manitowoc County, Wisconsin. This was at the height of the depression. The Jonas Family lived with the Blum's for about 6 weeks. (I assume this was around the time of the death of his father)

    Notes:

    In 1900, Ida lived with her mother and children by her first marriage (Howard and Adeline) in Eden Twp. Brown County.

    Pioneer Rest Cemetery There is a grave marker in Plot [18-2] that gives her date of birth 1877 date of death 1923 ossw. Fred T. Sr. In that plot as well there is a marker that says Ida Freitag Jonas bur. 10 -22-1956


    The story has been told by Ida's son Frederick William that Ida died after being kicked by a horse. He stated he was standing next to his mother when she was kicked. Fred T., Frederick William's father blamed him for the accident. Frederick William was forced to quit school in order to take care of his younger siblings.

    In 1956, Ida's son Harry, drove to Minnesota to gather the remains of Ida and bring them back to Wisconsin. It has been told by her granddaughter (Elaine Jonas Chaloupka) that the remains fit inside a shoe box. There is conflicting stories as to why the body was disinterred and moved to Two Rivers. Some say it was because a Highway was being reconstructed in Morton, over the cemetery grounds. An old timer from the area, stated the cemetery Ida was buried in was not affected by the construction. But she was moved anyway. Ida was re-buried in Pioneer Rest Cemetery Two Rivers.

    Notes for IDA BERTHA MATHILDA FREITAG: The Morton Enterprise, October 4, 1923 Mrs. Fred Jones Killed Kicked by Horse While Hitching Up Team at Chas.

The following is taken from the Franklin Tribune: Mrs. Fred Jones, formerly of Franklin, residing northeast of Morton was kicked by a horse while hitching up her team after a visit at Chas. Stoll home on Wednesday of last week, which resulted in her death the following morning. The tragedy is a severe shock to the bereaved family and their friends. Mrs. Jones had called at the Chas. Stoll home and had stayed for dinner. After dinner she went out to hitch up the team she was driving and as she a ttempted to rearrange some part of the harness the horse kicked striking h er over the heart, and breaking two ribs. She was taken to her home where she was given medical care, but the injury was too severe for her to wi thstand, and she passed away Thursday morning. Funeral services were held Sunday afternoon, Rev. Sauer of Morton officiating, and interment made in the Morton cemetery.

    Mrs. Fred Jones, nee Freitag, was born in Nicollet County in 1878, and moved to Brown County with her parents while yet a small girl. At the age of nineteen she was united in marriage to Ray White, who three years later lost his life in a railroad accident.

To this union six children were born, namely, Emmet, Harvey, Harry, Fred, Lydia and Irene, all of whom, together with her husband, mourn her untimely death. She also leaves three brothers, Robert, August, and Fred Freitag.
