Last updated on 2/24/19Bertha Jones was the daughter of George W. Jones and Rhuama Alzina Morehead. She was born 14 Feb. 1887 in Van Wert Co., Ohio.
On the 28th of May 1907, she married Harry Samuel Hay in Portland, Indiana. Harry Samuel Hay was a local baseball celebrity. I imagine he had a few groupies-he wasn't a bad looking guy.
Bertha and Harry had six children: Orville (1908), Harry (1910), Katherine (1913), Aletha (1917), Helen (1918) and Margaret (1920.)
The notice of their marriage made the rounds through area papers and some said that Bertha Jones was "one of the best-known young ladies of the Crown City."
"Crown City" sounds like a casino or maybe a large hotel where there is a lot of entertainment, but Crown City is what local newspapers referred to the City of Dunkirk.
