      Additional Information for George Washington Jones supplied 18 Jun 2001 by:
      Frank T. "Chip" Jones, Jr. :

      Named after President George Washington.
      After his father's and mother's deaths, went to live with a Mr. and Mrs. Morris at Lake Emily, Wi., from about 1862-1869.
      Occupation: President - G.W. Jones Lumber Company
      Religion: Episcopalian

      "It was in 1874 that I met the Sacketts. As you've heard before, I saw Ella for the first time at a Methodist Church sociable. She was coming down the stairs and she wore a blue dress. I said to myself that same day I was going to ask her to marry me. In six months we were engaged and in Sept. 1876 we were married.

      I made a down payment of six month's rent on our first home. From that time on, we had fifty dollars a month to live on and it wasn't easy doing it."
