He served two years on the Texas border during the Mexican trouble and was then advanced to the rank of corporal. He went to Camp Cody with Company L but was unable to go with them overseas on account of ill health.
He is survived by a mother and father, Mr. and Mrs. James Jones, and three brothers, Joshua, Howard and Elroy, all of this place.
