In 2014 I read about Amy Johnson's 52 Ancestors Challenge at Ancestry.com and at her blog site, started writing, finished a couple of blog posts, then got overwhelmed trying to write about an ancestor that I had a lot of information about. This challenge ended in early 2015, and now it's starting up again [see her latest post about it here]. I'm not following the prompts strictly, but I am trying to get a few more posts written.
3 - Arthur Jackson Jones
Arthur Jackson Jones was born on March 31st, 1897 in Little Rock, Arkansas to Arthur Clifton Jones and Georgia Jackson Jones.[1][2][3][4] In the 6th grade of school he wrote an assignment entitled "Story of My Life. One of the first sentences was, "I was born at 814 Scott St in this city in the year 1897. I was the third son of my parents Mr. & Mrs. A.C. Jones." He was speaking of two older brothers, Edward Curtis Jones (1889-1960) and Dudley Emerson Jones Jr (1892-1971). He also wrote, " I have always gone with my mother when she has visited her mother. Sometimes we went by train to St. Louis and then changed cars and went on. And sometimes we went by boat from Memphis to St. Louis. One time when we went on the boat mama had my curls cut off."[5]
Except for about a year and a half, he lived his life in Little Rock, most all of that in the same house,[3][6][7][8][9][10] attended the local schools, including the local Grammar School and Little Rock High School, graduating in 1914. His high school entry says,
In May of 1918, Arthur joined the War effort at Jefferson Barracks Military Post in Missouri. He was assigned to a Motor Supply Unit and trained in Massachusetts before being deployed overseas for approximately a year.[4] It was during that time that he was able to visit Paris and meet up with at least one brother, Dudley, and have his picture taken at the top of the Eiffel Tower. The photo we have has the following information recorded on the back side,
In that 6th grade assignment mentioned above, Arthur also wrote, "...I went to the St Louis University and studied to be a newspaper reporter." (Obviously this was not all based on current reality.) He went on to imagine a life in New York, and travel around the world as a news reporter interviewing Presidents and noted dignitaries.[5] We have at least two records where he was working with a newspaper. "In the 1922 City Directory, Arthur lists his occupation as "Reporter Daily News,"[12] and in the 1925 "Reporter Little Rock Daily News"[13] So even though he didn't make reporting his life's work, he did try it out.
We're not sure when, or where, Arthur went to Law School. In an article about the William H. Bowen School of Little Rock, it mentions that the first law school was in Little Rock opening in the 1910s[14], but due to politics was made private and closed in the 1960s. The Encyclopedia of Arkansas website shares more. After the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville became the sponsor for the law program in Little Rock, there was a disagreement about the autonomy of the school, and the university withdrew that sponsorship. The school was privatized and renamed the Arkansas Law school, graduating it's last class in 1967. It was not accredited by the American Bar Association, but it's graduates could take the bar exam. And in the 1917 Little Rock City Directory, there is a listing, "Arkansas Law School - New Court House. Lectures every day during term 7:30 p.m. Dean, J H Carmichael [John H Carmichael]; Sec, T N Robertson."[15] It's possible that when the school closed in 1967 that the records were destroyed, it's also possible that they were taken by the Little Rock Library or the University of Arkansas. That will require a bit more research. In any case, it was the closest law school, and unless he served as an apprentice with another lawyer, it's likely he attended there.
We have 3 wallet
cards that he carried from the Bar Association, for dues paid in 1961,
1962 and 1963, so I assume he sat and passed the Arkansas Bar Examination.[16] His obituary stated that he was a graduate of
the University of Arkansas Law School,[17] but as we all know, sometimes the "facts" printed aren't entirely accurate.
1923 was a momentous year for Arthur. On January 24 he married Nell Marie Ingram in Miller County, Arkansas[18], on August 28 his father, Arthur Clifton Jones, died [19][20], and on October 5th, his first, and only child, Carolyn, was born.[21]
From 1927 to 1929 Arthur was a representative in the Arkansas State House of Representatives for Pulaski County. He was mentioned as a changed vote in the Arkansas Anti-evolution Bill of 1927 (House Bill No. 34).[22][23] As a side note, this bill was tabled by the Arkansas Senate, and returned to the House without further consideration.[24]
Among the cards left in his wallet and desk was a political advertising card from a previous political campaign with a few items marked through and updated in pen, from 1952 to 1956, and House to Senate.[25] His nephew, Norman, said that Arthur was always interested in politics, "He was always going down to the government buildings, he just enjoyed the whole political arena."[26]
Arkansas suffered greatly in the Flood of 1927, one of the worst disasters in U.S. history. To give you an idea of the magnitude, the Federal budget at that time was 3 Billion dollars, and the estimated cost of the flood and aftermath was 1 Billion - a third of that. According to the Encyclopedia of Arkansas, "not one dollar of federal money went in direct aid to the flood victims." While I can't find records, I can imagine that not only relief efforts, but other flood related issues must have been a part of the agenda before the Arkansas House in which Arthur would have been a member. Herbert Hoover, then Secretary of Commerce said that the government would give what aid it could but the burden would rest upon the Red Cross.[27] Their efforts were partially documented in this article at the Red Cross website. At the very least, it would have been in the news most days and discussed among family and friends. With 36 out of 75 counties affected by the flood, I can imagine most people were themselves, or knew someone who was, directly affected by the flood. In Arthur's case, both of his brothers and their families were living in Memphis, Tennessee at the time; though we don't know how or if they were personally affected.[28]
In December 1928 his mother, Georgia Jackson Jones, died from influenza in Memphis, Tennessee while visiting her two sons who lived there.[29] Up until this time, Arthur, Nell and Carolyn had been living with her at the home on 814 Scott Street.[30] Nell's nephew, Norman Snodgrass, remembered his family living with Arthur, Nell and Carolyn around 1929 or 1930, when they were in-between residences.[26] That was Elizabeth (Nell's sister) and Edward, and the children, Betty Lou, Marjorie and Norman, then Arthur, Nell and Carolyn, and Nell and Elizabeth's mother, Viola. That's 9 people, a really full house. By the 1930 census the house had been divided into two halves and one side was rented out for income; I hope that happened after Norman's visit.[9]
In the 1930 census record, Arthur was living with his wife and daughter, his mother-in-law, Viola Taylor Ingram, and an African American servant Carrie Curtis, and they owned a radio. He was working as a lawyer in his own office and it was noted that he was a veteran of the World War.[9] David remembers his mother (Carolyn) saying that she remembered a grandmother who was sickly. It's only a guess, but it may be that the servant lived with them to help take care of Viola.
In a general Google search one day, I came across a letter Arthur had written to President Franklin Roosevelt dated 24 March 1936.[31] He included a cover letter to the president's secretary requesting her assistance in setting it before the President, and in the letter recommended that the credit laws be loosened to help bring an end to the Depression. The copy includes both Arthur's letter, and President Roosevelt's initial response (asking Governor Eccles of the Federal Reserve Board to send him a memo he could send back to "Mr Jones"). If there was a further reply to Arthur, it's not shown with these documents, nor is there a letter in the family's possession. The only reason this file was at the Federal Reserve website, was because the President asked the current chairman for a reply to presumably send with his response to Arthur. It's possible that correspondence between President Roosevelt and citizens of the United States are available at his Presidential Library. The FDR library website says that the President received approximately 3000 letters per day while he was at the White House. The fact that a copy of Arthur's letter survives is a bit of a miracle.
The 1940 Census lists Arthur, Nell and Carolyn living at 814 Scott Street. The record shows that Arthur was 43 years old, had completed 2 years of college, been born in Arkansas and lived in the same place in 1935, that he was the Chief Clerk in Records and Research, at a Government facility, and received a salary of $877.[10]
In 1942 he and Nell were listed in the Arkansas City Directory, he was listed as working as a Clerk.[32] He also registered for the World War II Draft as required by law. All of information on this was consistent with what has been seen in previous documents, i.e. name, address, age and birth date, name and address of his wife, Nell, (as emergency contact). It does mention a telephone number (7490) and lists his Employer as Quarter Masters Office, Camp Robinson, Little Rock. On the back, the Description of Registrant is: White, 5 ft 11 3/4 in., hazel eyes, 220 lbs, brown hair and light complexion. Date of registration February 16, 1942.[33]
There are more entries in Little Rock City Directories; the ones we have copies of include 1944, 1952 and 1956. In them he is listed as a Lawyer. There are more City Directory listings, but no other public records available that we have found.
There were visits from Carolyn and her family to visit with her parents, and must have been at least one visit when Arthur went with Nell to visited Carolyn and her family at their home. The Photo to the right was taken in Little Rock, in front of the Scott Street house in 1952 and the photo below taken with the two girls was at Charles & Carolyn's home in Owasso, Oklahoma.
Arthur died on 30 September 1963 of acute peritonitis in the VA Hospital in Little Rock. He was buried on 2 October 1963 at Roselawn Memorial Park in Little Rock.[17][34]

In May of 1918, Arthur joined the War effort at Jefferson Barracks Military Post in Missouri. He was assigned to a Motor Supply Unit and trained in Massachusetts before being deployed overseas for approximately a year.[4] It was during that time that he was able to visit Paris and meet up with at least one brother, Dudley, and have his picture taken at the top of the Eiffel Tower. The photo we have has the following information recorded on the back side,
"Enlargement of a photograph taken June 17 or 18, 1919 on the top of Eiffel Tower in Paris, France. Corporal Arthur J. Jones is shown in the photograph. Member of Motor Truck Company 497, Motor Supply Train 42. Was returning to Brest, France when was stationed from a two weeks leave spent in the British Isles. Picture was snapped by Lieut. Dudley E. Jones who was accompanied by Lieut. McDonald of La Grange, Illinois. The tower had just been opened again to the public following it's close during the World War. Looking to the east of the Trocaders. Enlargement made 4-18-29."[11]Arthur was honorable discharged 11 October 1919 and returned to Little Rock. In January 1920 he was living with his parents in the same house at 816 Scott Street, along with his brothers and Curtis's wife, Jessie. The census record states Arthur is 23 years old, born in Missouri (rather than Arkansas, as all the other census records state), and working as a lawyer.[8]
In that 6th grade assignment mentioned above, Arthur also wrote, "...I went to the St Louis University and studied to be a newspaper reporter." (Obviously this was not all based on current reality.) He went on to imagine a life in New York, and travel around the world as a news reporter interviewing Presidents and noted dignitaries.[5] We have at least two records where he was working with a newspaper.
