In my challenge The Jones family of Big Ugly became part of the discussion of my challenge. Well I thought I should bring this thread / subject out again from the beginning to inform those who aren’t familiar with it. I believe it all started in 2008. On my layout there is a small town named Big Ugly in West Virginia, There actually is a town with this name.
In my world this town has a local news paper called the “Big Ugly Transcript” that is where BUT comes from. I posted a copy of the front page of this news paper.



As you can see the main article is about a Canadian company named GERN. If you read it all you will see another article about an accident, read it carefully it has some interesting twists.


At a later date I decided to post a second issue. The main article was about a small mine, but the Jones's made the front page again. It appears that this family is rather interesting.



There is more about sheriff Jones in this but no news paper article. This family is one unique group.

Now after the discovery of flux in the mine the Gern chemists investigate and this letter is then sent to Mr Gibson in Port Maitland, Ontario,



The last news paper article involving the Jones family was this one.



Well as time rolls on it appears that there might be more trouble in Big Ugly involving the Jones family. And more on Gern.



Now go to my challenge and find a new connection
