WILLIAM M. JONES - GRANT CO., IN Content-Type: Text/Plain; charset=US-ASCII Centennial History of Grant County Indiana 1812-1912 The Lewis Publishing Company, 1914 Page 1301 HON. WILLIAM M. JONES. At the November election of 1912 Grant county sent to the lower house of the State Legislature, one of the most popular and able citizens and stock farmers of the southern half of the county, William M.Jones, best known in Liberty township, as proprietor of the Poplarium Farm in that locality. Mr. Jones has been a life long resident of Grant county, and his success in his chosen vocation and his standing as a citizen were the factors which brought about his election to his present office. At Indianapolis he has done effective work in the legislature and is one of the valuable members of the present state administration. William M.Jones was born in Fairmount township, of Grant county, March 17, 1882. His parents are David and Sarah (Thomas) Jones, who now live in Madison county. Mr. Jones was the oldest in a family of eleven children, nine of whom are still living, and mentioned as follows: Dr. R.B. Jones, a practicing physician at LaPorte, Indiana; Rev. T.E. JOnes, now active in the ministry and a graduate of Earlham College, and having also spent a year abroad at Oxford University, England; Eli S., who is a student in the Indiana State University; Ora S., a sophomore in Earlham College; Orpha A., a graduate of Fairmount Academy; Rene A., a student in the Fairmount Academy; Francis in the common schools; and Fred. William M. Jones spent his boyhood on a farm, had an education first in the common schools, and later graduated from the Fairmount Academy. After leaving that old and splendid institution of education, he took up work as a teacher, and was for three years very successful. After that he turned his energies to farming and stock raising and the Poplarium farm in Liberty township and has since become recognized as a center for the raising of thoroughbred polled Durham cattle, Duroe Jersey hogs, and Oxfordddown sheep. Among his other business interests, all of which have been accumulated within a few years of successful industry, Mr. Jones is a director in the Citizens Telephone Company of Fairmount. At the age of thirty he was reached a success in politics, and in business such as would be creditable to a man in middle life. On October 12, 1904, he was united in marriage with Lucy L. Winslow, a daughter of Webster J. Winslow of Fairmount, Indiana. Mrs. Jones is a graduate of the Fairmount Academy. Three children have been born to their marriage; Mary L., aged seven years; Bob W., aged five, and Pauline, aged two. The family are members of the Friends church, and Mr. Jones is a teacher in its Sunday school. Fraternally Mr. Jones is affiliated with Fairmount Lodge of the Masonic Order, and also with the Knights of Pythias Lodge at Marion and of the I.O.O.F. In politics he is a Democrat, and was elected on the Democratic ticket, to his present place as a member of the Indiana State Legislature. ______________________________ ------------------------------ X-Message: #2 Date: Fri, 23 Jul 1999 09:46:21, -0500 From: AUPQ38A@prodigy.com (MRS GINA M REASONER) To: OH-FOOTSTEPS-L@rootsweb.com Message-Id: <199907231346.JAA10598@mime3.prodigy.com> Subject: ADAMS FAMILY BIBLE RECORD Content-Type: Text/Plain; charset=US-ASCII Ohio The cross road of our nation Records & Pioneer Families April-June 1962 Vol. III No. II Published by Esther Weygandt Powell - NO COPYRIGHT ADAMS FAMILY BIBLE RECORD Contributed by Miss Katharine K.
