Similar as I have done with other family members, I thought I would make available all the pictures I have of Grandpa. I won’t write much, just present the few photos and documents I have in chronological order, as best I can tell.
Wilburn Norwood “Nor” Jonas was born 15 May 1924 in Lewiston, Cache, Utah to Lillian Coley and Joseph Nelson Jonas. The fourth child of eight to his parents. He married Colleen Mary Andra 27 September 1946 in Elko, Elko, Nevada. Three children were born to him and Colleen; Douglas in 1952, Sandra in 1954, and Jackie in 1960. He died 14 March 1975 in Burley, Cassia, Idaho and was buried 19 March 1975 in Richmond, Cache, Utah.

This is a remarkable job of gathering and presenting the data. Are the VanLeeuwens related to this family?
