This was an article printed in the Jackson Independent, Jonesboro, LA,
within a few days of April 21, 1918.  (I don't know the day of the week the
Independent publishes its paper.)                                  JONES-
PEEVY Mr. Grady E. Jones and Miss Ethel Peevy were married last Sunday
evening at the home of Mr. and Mrs. S. J. Shows in Jonesboro, the pretty
ceremony being performed by Rev. G. A. Morgan in the presence of relatives
and friends of the contracting parties.  Mr. Jones is a son of Mr. and Mrs.
J. A. Jones of this city. A young man of pleasing personality and upright
character, he is esteemed by all who know him, and to these manifestations
of regard is now added cordial felicitations upon his good fortune in
winning so lovely a girl as a life-time companion and help-mate.  The bride
is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. M. B. Peevy, of the Weston community, and is
an attractive and accomplished young woman. The Independent joins the wide
circle of friends of the popular young couple in extending them warmest
congratulations and good wishes. Notes:   The "S. J. Shows" (Stephen Jackson
and Emma Jane Sorrels Shows) mentioned were the grandparents of the bride
and were both very early settlers in Jackson parish.  The J. A. Joneses were
Josiah Allen "Joe" and Amerson Carleton Jones and both came to Jackson
parish in 1865-1870.  The M. B. Peevys were Milton Bailey and Catherine N.
Shows Peevy, both being born in Jackson parish in the 1870's. They lived in
the same house on a farm in the Weston area for their 64 years of marriage.
Both Grady and Ethel Jones were attending LA Tech at the time, but he left
shortly after the wedding for service in WW I.  Ethel could no longer attend
school as married women were not permitted as students.  Grady Jones was a
math professor at LA Tech for more than 20 years, 1938 to 1961.
