Virginian-Pilot December 12, 1961
NORFOLK - T. Ralph Jones, 77, retired cotton broker, a 1944 candidate for 
Norfolk City Council, died Monday at 7:45 p.m. in his home, 902 Greenway Court.
Phases of the city government were investigated as a result of his criticisms 
during the 1944 councilman campaign. He publicly attacked tax policies of the 
council and otherwise was a critic of Norfolk's government.
He was a regular contributor of letters to the editors of The Virginian-Pilot 
and Ledger-Star. In 1948, he was president of the Stassen-for-President Club 
here.
A lifelong Norfolk resident, he was a son of Thomas A. and L. Savage Jones and 
the husband of Mrs. Louise Hunter Jones.
He attended Virginia Military Institute and the University of Virginia. He was a 
member of St. Andrew's Episcopal Church and Norfolk Elks Lodge 34.
Besides his widow, surviving are a daughter, Miss Louise Hunter Jones of 
Washington, D.C.; a son, T. Ralph Jones Jr. of Wichita, Kan.; and two 
grandchildren.
The body was taken to H. D. Oliver Funeral Apartments.
The family requested that flowers be omitted.
