BIOGRAPHICAL: "Loy Allen Jones served two years in France in the Ordinance Department, serving in three major engagements - Aisne-Marne, St. Mithiel and Meuse-Argonne. On his discharge, like Cincinnatus, he returned to the plow and the peaceful pursuits of agriculture; but the hardships he suffered in war undermined his heath, and no doubt contributed to his early death." (From Annals of S.W.R. Jones Family, pg 86)
