Biography
Can you add to this profile?
Joseph was born in Millville, the son of William and Olive Ann Neves. He was the first son of his fathers second wife. Olive Ann and her children lived in a small house on one side of a 15 acre lot, and Abigail his first wife and her children lived on the other side in homes built by William, who was a carpenter.
Because of persecution during the time of polygamy, Joseph's father moved his other family to Wyoming; and Joseph, at age sixteen, was left to care for his mother. He had learned the carpenter's trade from his father, and with study and experience he became proficient at building. He built the old Post Office and the homes of James Jenson and N. H. Monson. He also worked on the Capitol Theater and many church buildings.
On April 28, 1920, Joseph married Maggie Clifford
Children of Joseph and Maggie are: Bessie Aleene Trolson, Claire Leonard, Naudine Howell, Theo Faye Goodman, Beverley Mozell Gomm, Bartell Lamont, Roese Deloy and Lowell Dewey.
