William Harrison Jones was born in 1851, in Wayne County, Ind., where he 
attended the common schools till eighteen years of age, after which he spent 
one term at Earlham College. He assisted his father on the farm till twenty-
three years of age, when he settled on the farm where he now resides. He owns 
160 acres of well-cultivated land, and may be classed among the rising young 
farmers of the township. He was married Feb. 10, 1875, to Medora, daughter of 
Allen W. and Lucy T. Lewis, of Green Township. They have one daughter---Echo, 
born March 19, 1883. Mr. Jones has been a Republican until recently. He now 
affiliates with the Greenback party. His father, Oliver T., was of Welsh 
ancestry and was reared in Virginia. He settled in Wayne County, Ind., in an 
early day, where he married Mary, daughter of John King, who came to Wayne 
County in an early day from
Kentucky. They reared eleven children to maturity, of whom nine yet survive, 
five sons and four daughters. Oliver T. Jones was Justice of the Peace a 
number of years and was Commissioner of Wayne County thirteen years. He 
represented the county in the State Legislature a number of years and was 
Cashier of the First National Bank of Centreville, Wayne County, at his death, 
at the age of sixty-five years. His widow survives, being in her sixty-fifth 
year.
