Notes |
- J. A. JONES, one of the old pioneers of Wayne County, who lives on section 12, South Fork Township, was born in Putnam County, Indiana, April 25, 1842, his parents, William and Abigail (Davis) Jones, being natives of Kentucky, the father born in Lincoln County, the mother in Casey County. Of their eleven children our subject was the tenth child. When nine years of age, in 1851, he came with his father to Wayne County, Iowa, and after spending a few months in South Fork Township they removed to Johns Township, Appanoose County, where the father lived till his death, which occurred in 1872 at the age of seventy-six years. Our subject was reared to manhood on a farm in Appanoose County, receiving in his youth a common-school education. He was united in marriage, August 10, 1865, to Sarah J. Duer, a daughter of John and Clarissa D. Duer, and of the seven children born to this union six are living-- Mary O., Jessie M., Cora A., J. W., Rachel and Clarissa D. A son, Aaron W., is deceased. In 1867 Mr. Jones settled on his present farm in South Fork Township, where he has 220 acres of choice land all well improved, having a good residence, barn and outbuildings, and a fine orchard. In 1872 he engaged in the mercantile business in partnership with D. Given, with whom he was associated for one year, after which he carried on the same business with his nephew, R. B. Jones, for eighteen months, when he sold his interest in the business and returned to his farm in South Fork Township, where he has since been successfully engaged in raising and feeding stock in connection with his general farming. He is a member of Vernon Lodge, No. 410, A. F. & A. M., of Confidence, and also belongs to the Odd Fellows order. In his political views he is independent, always voting for the man whom he considers best suited for office.
