Mary Eveline Jones was born 9 February, 1882 in Brigham City, Arizona to Joshua Oliver and Susan Maria Elmer Jones. The town of Brigham City, formerly called Ballinger, was settled in March 1876. In September 1878 the name was changed to Brigham City for Brigham Young. It had been settled as a United Order town, but when the Joneses came there it had all but been abandoned. There were only 2 or 3 families living there in 1882. When Mary was born John Taylor was President of the Church. David O. McKay was the president when Mary died in 1964

An accident at the age of 10 or 11 caused a great change in Mary's life. The family had a root cellar for storing vegetables and fruit. Water came up in the cellar. Joshua dug a hole in the earthen floor for the water to come into. It could then be dipped out by buckets. One day Mary was asked to go to the cellar for something. In her haste she forgot about the hole and stepped into it, breaking her leg. They were so far away from any medical help that they couldn't get her to a doctor. Her leg swelled and was very painful. She couldn't walk on it for about a year. For years this leg bothered her. Small bone pieces worked out if it for a long time. She had to use a crutch to walk with. This brought an end to her schooling. She had gone three years to school.

When she died she was survived by all ten of her children, 44 grandchildren and 23 great grandchildren and one sister, Pearl Larsen. She was buried in the Roosevelt Cemetery by her husband.
