| Description |
English: Mary Harris “Mother” Jones, the fiery labor advocate, stands before a bookcase on May Day 1929 at the home of Emma Powderly, widow of the Knights of Labor leader Terrence Powderly, at 503 Rock Creek Church Road in Washington, D.C.
Jones resided at the Powderlys from about 1920 until shortly after this photograph. Sometime in May 1929 she took a trip out to the Burgess Farm in Adelphi, Maryland and did not return to the Powderly home. The Burgess couple were old miner friends of hers from West Virginia who took care of the ailing Jones until her death in December 1930. Jones was born in Cork, Ireland and lived her life as a Civil War nurse, lost her family to yellow fever in Memphis, worked as a dressmaker whose shop burned in the Great Chicago Fire and served as a labor leader often vilified and jailed for her role supporting workers, primarily child laborers and miners.
