Just wanted to honor my great-grandfather. I did not know him but heard alot of family stories about how he came to Pablo beach and how he died. My mother wrote about Charles B Jones and his wife Lola in her autobiography.
I would love to hear from the person who wrote the first reflection who is his granddaughter. That would mean my mother had a sister? Would love to hear from you.
God Bless Marshal Jones,
