JONES, prominent Attorney-at-law, Florence, was born near Russellville this State, January 11, 1850, and is the son of the Hon. Henry C. Jones, a sketch of whom will be found in another part of this volume. He was educated at Florence; read law under Chancellor Keyes, and was admitted to the bar in 1871. After spending a few months in the office of Josiah Patterson, he, in the latter part of 1872, embarked fully into the practice of the law and readily took high rank in the profession. He is now of the firm of Simpson & Jones. Though devoted to his profession, Mr. Jones gives much attention to other matters. He is President of the Board of Directors of the Normal College at Florence; identified with some of the leading industries of the place, and is regarded as a wide-awake, public-spirited, present-day North Alabamian.
