Daisy Thompson (Jones) was born to William Thompson and Jane Adamson Wanlass Thompson March 17, 1882 in Ogden, Weber County, Utah. Daisy's Father emigrated from Liverpool England February 18, 1856 on the ship "Caravan". He was 16 years old at the time. He worked on a farm and saved enough money to help bring his family to America. William arrived in in this country in 1856. Daisy's father married Annie Shefford, they had 5 children. Annie died October 22, 1874. William later married Jane Adamson Wanlass November 22, 1875. Jane is Daisy's mother. The family moved to Ogden in 1874 and Wilson Lane in 1887. Daisy's family lived on an eighty acre tract of sandy soil one half mile West and one fourth mile South of the present Wilson Ward Church House. Daisy's father built a four room house for the family to live in. She was the fifth child in what was eventually a family of 13 children. In 1900 his father bought a thirty-eight acre farm from a man named John Parson's which was four miles south of our home at Wilson in Kanesville. It was covered with sage brush and cost thirty dollars an acre. The sage had to be cleared which was done by hitching a teem to a railroad rail and dragging it over the sage to break it down. Then it was plowed with a sulky plow, pulled by three horses. Her brothers would pull the sage out of the furrows, pile it in piles and burn it. In the evenings when the neighbor came over to visit and the addition of a few potatoes brought out to roast in the fire with songs and stories made it a real evening. Her father raised hay, grain, beets, fruit , sheep, pigs and chickens. Daisy's mother would sell the eggs together with homemade butter churned in the old dasher and she made cheese and pressed it in the old cheese press. Daisy assisted with all this work. Daisy's mother was taught to be a milk maid growing up. Eventually the family had a milk farm and sold milk as well. She married Harvey Baldwin Jones April 22, 1914. They had 9 children.
