… recall the two turning points in the life of labor activist “Mother” Jones. The first was the death of her husband George and their four children, three girls and a boy (all under the age of five) in 1867, during a yellow fever epidemic in Memphis. After that, she returned to Chicago to begin a second dressmaking business. Then, four years later, she lost her home, shop, and possessions in the Great Chicago Fire.
