HOMAS T. JONES was born Oct. 12, 1854,
in Lafayette Township. He is the only
brother of William D. Jones, a sketch of
whom appears elsewhere in this volume; they reside near each other, and a strong fraternal regard
exists between them. Thomas was reared at home,
where he received a good common-school education, and assisted his father in the various branches
of farm labor. He was married, Sept. 11, 1878, to
Miss Rosa Clark. Mrs. Jones is the daughter of
G. P. Clark, and was born in 1860, in Lafayette
Township. They have an interesting family of
four children Robert, Estelle, Carrie and Earnest.
Mr. Jones is the owner of a fine estate containing
250 acres of land, all of which is well-improved
and cultivated. In conducting his farm he gives
special attention to stock-raising.
