Etta Jones

Portrait of Etta Jones wearing a cape with a fur collar and black hat. She appears to be in a snow storm. The writing on the back reads, "Miss Etta Jones to Hallie." Hallie Thurman was friend who lived in Denton and both women worked and were unmarried. We believe this photo to have been taken around 1900 based upon her clothing, but not after 1909, as she was married in October and became Mrs. Etta Scott. She taught first grade and later high school. Originally, Sarah Etta Jones, she was born in January of 1867 in Pennsylvania.
