I was born in Jerome Arizona in 1940 and lived there until the end of WWII than we moved to Fresno, CA. I had many relatives and associates there and can still remember many adventures and other stories that I heard from my parents, uncles, cousins, and other relationships. Would like to hear from other Jerome natives and share experiences and memories. Thank you.

Just returned from Jerome. My Mother and her 2 brothers lived there from 1917 to 1953. There last names were Isais or Ysais the spelling of the last name could have been either way. They've all passed away now and I'm looking for history on small mine owners or family members that lived in Jerome in the early 1920's.
Anyone looking for Baptism
information that were Baptized at Holy Family Catholic Church in Jerome can find the Baptismal records in Cottonwood at Immaculate Conception Catholic Church off Hwy 89A. It's currently using a temporary building the address is 700 North Bill Gray Road, Cottonwood
Hope this help.

In reading about Jerome I found myself captivated by the posting on the blog. I noticed that all posts are by Allen Muma. Jerome 1976 by unknown Author

I have driven through Jerome a few years ago while returning from the Grand Canyon to Laughlin, NV. I live in CT and have traveled west to Arizona a few times a year. That accidental drive through Jerome left me with a void for knowledge and it's history. I did some reading but have been re-energized by the stories here. I will be hiking in the Canyon this Sept. and would love to talk with someone that can share some experiences with me.

i am in tn., and in tears because my hubby and son are in jerome at this second, taking pics of where i trod as a child. i have always dreamed of being with them on their first look at jerome, but a fluke has them there without me. i lived there, on the hogback, in a house that wasnt strong enough to hold a piano, across the street from.. well maybe i shouldnt say their names, but a well to do family that owned a grocery store in cottonwood. my mom tried to run a very small flower shop on the hogback. this was from about 1959 -1964. my father taught at the mingus high school. my 4 brothers went to muhs. (i know there is a blog for that high school). i know my son and hubby are now taking dozens of pics of fabulous jerome, as i sit here typing, reliving the memories..... and... there is no reason why, i can not return with them, and really, SHOULD HAVE BY NOW! thanks for reading this.....

Yes there is a Catholic Church in Jerome
I was baptized in it in 1932 it has since
been rebuilt and restored when I last
visited in 1989 Most of the history is
now I believe in Phoenix where I had to
apply for a duplicate baptism certificate
good luck in your search

Im from Chicago and moved to Phoenix about 8mos.ago when I visited Phoenix for the first time I herd of this town called Jerome and knew I had to go. When I got there I fell in love with everything there. I've been there already about 6 times and everone that comes to visit me I make sure I take them to Jerome. I would someday love to move there. I just can't get enough of this place I highly recomend anyone that comes to Az. to go to this wonderful town!!

Regarding Jerome around 1890's.
My grandfather worked on the construction of the Catholic Church in Prescott and Jerome - or so the story goes.
Is there a catholic Church in Jerome? If so where could I find some history about it.

Thanks, Tony

I was in Jerone two weeks ago and came across a shop with tea cups that had leopard/animal print on out side of cups and each cup had an earth tone color in them. I am looking to order from shop keeper. They were $ 20.00 for each cup and saucer. Can some one help me out?
