Colonel Jones, born in England in 1867, came to this country via Canada when 19 years old.

In the First World War he was in command of an American Airdrome near Belleau Wood under General Pershing. In 1923, he was stationed at Fort Lewis as a Lieutenant Colonel and was relieved in 1926 to become head of the Reserve Corps in Seattle with the rank of full Colonel. After his retirement in 1930, he continued to live at 5224 20th Avenue Northeast.
