    Isaac Marion Jones, M. D., a practicing physician of Bolivar
and vicinity, was born in Delaware County, Ohio, March 22, 1841,
and is the son of Abraham and Sarah (Lewis) Jones, both natives
of New Jersey, the father born in 1796, and the mother in 1799.   
He was of Welsh-English descent, and she of English.  After their
marriage they remained in their native State until 1814, when 
they moved to Madison County, Ohio, and owned the land entered 
by his father, where West Jefferson is now built.  The father 
was a farmer and an extensive land-owner.  He also practiced 
medicine under the old Botanic system.  He was a soldier in the
War of 1812; was not an office-seeker, nor were any of his family,
but he was a Democrat in politics.  He was a deacon in the Baptist
Church for over forty years, and his wife was a member of the same
church.  He died in 1864, and she in 1876.  They were the parents
of eleven children, five sons and six daughters, and one of the
sons, Lewis R. became a Baptist minister.  Isaac M. Jones, the
youngest child, and the only son now living, married August 30,
1858, Miss Christina Leffler, a native of Muskingum County, Ohio,
and the result of this union was nine children, four now living:
James A., Thomas J., Pleasant W. and Mary E.  Both Dr. and 
Mrs. Jones are members of the Baptist Church.  In 1860 the Doctor
moved to Moultrie County, Ill., and in 1869, to Polk County, Mo.  
In 1872 he graduated from the St. Louis Medical College, returned
to Polk County, and has practiced there ever since.  He is a 
member of the Polk County Medical Society, and has been coroner
one term.
