      DEATH:
      1. Tom Kermen's email of 19 Jan 2003, Kermen@att.net, included the following letter from Wanda Hales, aunt of his wife Karen Viola Hales. Wanda indicates the following information was given by Mary Ann Jensen (wife of Orval Woodruff Hales) as told to her by Jemima Ann: "Jemima Ann Adair was born March 27, 1863 at a small town called 'The Muddy' just over the Arizona line. Mother was Ann Chestnut Adair. Father was George Washington Adair. Another family by the name of Carson was at this same place at the same time. Jemima Ann's mother died at the time of her birth and the Carson family had just lost their new born baby. George Adair gave Jemima Ann to the Carson family to raise as their own. The Carson family then moved to Parowan. She always thought they were her parents until she married when she was told her real name. She married Charles Henry Hales the 29th of March 1878 just two days past her 15th birthday. They settled in Kanarra where her first boy was born. She was married in polygamy, the third wife. Two more sons were born to her at Kanarra. In 1885 they homesteaded a farm in Junction where she spent the rest of her life. A daughter, May, died in 1895 at age 6 from a typhoid epidemic. Her husband also contracted typhoid which caused complications and left him a semi-invalid. They bought a town lot and built a large hotel 1902-1903 with the help of her boys. She had eight children including a set of twins. Charles Henry Hales was a carpenter by trade. He built a large recreation hall for the community before he built the hotel. He also made all the caskets for the burials at that time. Charles Henry Hales died in 1908 [error; should be 1907]. Jemima Ann worked hard all her life, first on the farm and later running the hotel. She died Jan. 2, 1919."

      2. The obituary in the Deseret Weekly News for Feb. 16, 1895, clearly shows the death was January 30, 1895 and not June 30 as reported on the tombstone [https://newspapers.lib.utah.edu/details?id=2705242&q=ida+may+hales&facet_paper=%22Deseret+Weekly%22] accessed 7 Sep 2018. The tombstone is modern and someone mis-represented the death date on the stone for Ida May.

      BURIAL:
      1. Per Hales tombstone in Junction Old Cemetery [which is across the street from the New Hilltop Cemetery] apparently placed very recently [older white tombstone still exists] which reads:
      Grandfather Charles Henry, Sept. 17, 1848 - Apr. 7, 1907.
      Grandmother Jemima Ann Adair, Mar. 27, 1863 - Jan 2, 1919.
      Children:
      Ida May, Apr. 18, 1886 - June 30, 1895.
      George Ammon, Aug. 24, 1879 - Oct. 31, 1897.
      I also have on file a handwritten map of this cemetery where someone identified 42 names and their locations. On this list are the four individuals above and they are buried in the northeast corner. None of the other 38 names appear connected to my family history. The compiler of the information does state that the names of many others are long forgotten.
