Harriet Willmetta Jones Reid
I have an old studio photograph identified as Harriet Willmetta JONES which was taken at the Lee Studio in York or Stromsburg, NE. The photograph indicates that Harriet is 3 months and 10 days old at the time it was taken and that it was gifted to “Grandpa and Grandma” as well. Based on limited research I was able to gather the following information regarding Harriet and her family:
Wilmetta Henriett JONES was b. Dec 1894 in Nebraska to parents Warren B. JONES (1870-1958) and Emma Clay FARR (1870-1960). Wilmetta was one of four children born to this couple including, Wilmetta; Herschal Farr; Allen Bernice; and Alta JONES, all born between 1894 and 1900. The family was living in Pleasant Home, NE in 1900 and records indicate that her father was born in Iowa and her mother in Vermont.
Wilmetta married Grover REID (1885-1955) and they had a daughter. Wilmetta died 11 Apr 1966 and is buried in North Battleford Municipal Cemetery in North Battleford, Saskatchewan, Canada.
I would like to get this photograph back to family and would appreciate you contacting me if you are a member of this family or know someone who might be.
Thanks,
Shelley

Popular Reid Biographies
Tanya Leigh Thaxton was born to John Allen Thaxton and Wanda Ruth Roden. She was 20 years old when she married 26 year old Raymond. Tanya was the mother of two who's infant daughter was initially thought to have supposedly died of SIDS, but turned out later, died from shaken baby syndrome. Her son had seizures and respiratory problems that can cause SIDS, but it was found out to be MBP (Munchausen By Proxy) and she insisted she was Innocent.
She was the subject of Gregg Olsen's "Cruel Deception: The true story of a Munchausen mom and her tiny victims" which tells the story of how she was charged and convicted with felony child abuse of her son. There was also an episode about her on Forensic Files. A copy of a news article about Tanya is at Tanya L (Thaxton) Reid killed her son .
On February 7, 1984, Deaf Smith County Emergency (EMS) personnel were summoned to the home of Tanya and Raymond Reid because their infant daughter, Morgan Reid, had suffered an apnea 2 episode. When the EMS personnel arrived, appellant was attempting to resuscitate Morgan. After an initial visit to the hospital in Hereford, Morgan was taken to Northwest Texas Hospital in Amarillo. Efforts to revive her were unsuccessful and, after it was learned the child was brain dead, she was removed from the ventilator and she died some fourteen hours later. After an autopsy, her cause of death was determined, and is shown on her death certificate, as brain death secondary to cardiorespiratory arrest of undetermined etiology.
The Reids also had another child, Robert Matthew Reid, who had apnea episodes beginning in 1985 and continuing until March of 1988. In March 1988 in Des Moines, Iowa, by court order, Matthew was adjudicated a child in need of assistance, removed from the Reid home, and placed in foster care. After that time, Matthew suffered no further apnea episodes.
She was released from prison in 2008 and as of 2014 was working at McDonalds. An article from 1988 reviews the case at Nurse charged with cutting off son's air.
A more recent article (2021) is here: Tanya L (Thaxton) Reid killed her son .
And her conviction was overturned, after many years, according to a March 2024 article. See the article at Tanya Thaxton Reid's Conviction Overturned:.

His name was Albert Duncan Reid. We thought he was born in 1907 but perhaps he was born in 1909. He was born in Carlton.
I know he married Gwendoline in the late 1930's. My mother still has the very few photos she has of her father and she knows in her heart that he did come looking for her.
I long to give my mum some information about her dad, the person he was, was he loving and nuturing, did he ever tell anyone of her existance?
I would have loved to have known my grandad and it would be great to hear from anyone that may have known him.
