Cause of death: angina pectoris. Lived with daughter Muriel (1492 Bushwick Ave. Brooklyn) at the time of her death.
Age: 66

Adalesia's great-great-grandparents, Johann Andreas Shaber, and, Gertraud Schaurich, emigrated from Germany and initially settled in Pennsylvania. Andreas/Andrew fought in the PA Militia during the Revolutionary War. The family later moved to Virginia. Adalesia's great-grandfather was Andrew Shaver II, who fought in the War of 1812 and died of wounds incurred during that war.

Adalesia's grandparents, Jonathan Shaver and Susan Cook, eventually settled in Montgomery County, Indiana, where Adalesia was born.

Adalesia married Laban Ellsworth Jones in Chicago on 6 Sep 1888. Their first daughter, Muriel Hettie Jones, was born in Chicago in 1892. By 1904, when their second daughter, Musette Montana Jones, was born, the Joneses had moved to Anaconda, Montana.

By 1920, Adalesia, her widowed mother, and her two daughters were living in New York City. Muriel had married in Manhattan in 1917. She and her young family were living in Upper Manhattan. Adalesia, her mother, and younger daughter were living in a household on the same street. At the time of the 1930 Census, Adelesia and her younger daughter were still living in Upper Manhattan.

By 1934, Laban had apparently joined the family in New York City. After his death, Adalesia appears to have moved in with daughter, Muriel. (At the time of the 1930 Census, Muriel's address was 1492 Bushwick Ave., Brooklyn. This is the same address listed on Adalesia's death certificate.)

It is unclear whether Laban and Adalesia were connected to the faith; however, both of their daughters became involved with the Baha'i movement at a young age. In 1912, their older daughter, who adopted the spiritual name, Rouhieh, photographed younger daughter, Muriel, with Baha'i leader 'Abdu'l-Bahá.

Rouhieh later became a Baha'i teacher and speaker. When Muriel died in 1943, her death was listed in the "In Memoriam" section of "Baha'i News," the faith's national publication. At least one of her children, Lucien McComb, Jr., became very involved in the faith community. After Muriel's death, Rouhieh married Muriel's husband, Lucien McComb. Rouhieh and Lucien had a son, David, who also became a Baha'i teacher and speaker.
