View all 6 ReflectionsConstable Lee Olen Jones was my grandfather. Since I wasn’t born until 1947 I missed knowing him. Thank you my grandfather for all you have done in service to your community. This site was sent to me by a cousin who happened upon it. It is comforting to know he is still remembered. Thank you all.
