(Is this the Mary for whom Jones was grinding rice on 4/2/44 and 6/2/44? Do we have a surname for her?)

We believe she is Mary Stevens, wife of "Steve" whose name is E. J. Stevens. I haven't found his full name.

I hope one day we'll hear from the Stevens family. I asked R E Jones' daughter Rae if she remembers them, but she doesn't.
