Note I have precious memories of going to Grandfather and Grandmother Jones' north of Callao. Many times mother would take us down there driving a carriage pulled by a team of horses. It would take all day from Clay to their farm . We would stop and eat our lunch on the lawn of a country church that was about half way there. Mother had so many relatives and friends along the road that we would stop and visit.

My Grandpa Jones was a big wirey-haired, redheaded man . Pauline Watkins (who became Clifford's wife) knew him when he was young. She says he had a gruff voice and enjoyed scaring the kids when they went by the farm. All of the children were scared of him except me . Neoma would cry and wail when he would go to scoop her up in his big arms. He was known for his ability to swim and taught his kids to swim by pitching them into the river. He was such a hearty man-up until the day he died, he could still climb a tree to get a coon out.

My grandparent's farm was near Ethel, Missouri on the Santa Fe Railroad. Often I rode down on the train and Grandpa would meet me with his dapple gray team of horses and wagon . I loved my grandparents very much. Grandmother was a small, quiet, sweet woman . Her church was the Valley Chapel Holiness Church up on the ridge north of their farm.

Between the church and their farm was the old log cabin in which my mother was born. They later built a log cabin on the land south of theirs, and then even later, the house that still stands on the old home place. Many times I played in and out of that old log cabin. I remember especially in the summer playing hockey with tin cans and sticks in the field next to the log cabin.

There were three or four churches on the ridges around Grandpa and Grandma Jones' farm. Grandpa always attended their revivals . Many-a night he and I would walk up and down the hills and through the woods to a revival service. One Sunday evening during a revival service when I was fourteen, I repented of my sins and Jesus forgave me. I did not understand all of this, so when I returned home, I continued on living as I had before. That night when I returned home from church, Grandmother hugged and kissed me as I came in the door. My cousin who was there complained that she didn't get a kiss from Grandma . Grandmother said, "But you didn't get saved either."6

Marriage*4 December 1885 Residence of J.L.Jones, Valley Township, Macon Co., MO,

Marriage License.


The complete marriage license was issued in Macon Co. MO to John J. Jones of Valley Township and Sarah J. Sloan of Valley Township. Indicates he was over 21 and she over 18. Was issued Dec. 2, 1885 by Jno. H. Griffin the recorder. It then states that they were married at residence of J.L.Jones [whom I believe to be the father] by John Miller Justice of the Peace on December 4, 1885. It was recorded on December 15 1885.

The fragment of the marriage license owned by Enola Ziebol agrees in all visable details (her version was the copy given to couple, the microfilm is of the information kept by the County). Note that the Sarah J. (Sloan) Jones bible indicates a date of Nov. 1885 which disagrees and is probably incorrect since no day is mentioned., Principal=Sarah Jane Sloan, Witness=John L. Jones11,12

Note*circa 1928 Macon Co., MO, Enola Ziebol: I was raised by Jones Grandparents until I was eight. Grandfather died when I was six. My grandmother kept me for two more years. I used to go up there every summer until I was 13 when grandmother died. My mother came to St. Louis when I was six months old. She could not work and care for me at the same time. So she just left me in the country. I was probably closer to the grandparents than anybody [i.e. cousins]. . . . I was born at the old home place up there in Macon Co. right out of Callao. The old homestead house is still there [in 1999 Enola said that it had pretty much fallen down, though the chimney was still standing]. . . . [I talked about the 1918 land map showing neighbors] The Grimshaws lived across the pasture and up the hill. . . . Close to the Chariton River. . . .Adams was part of that community up there and the Badges. . . . Canada's lived across the road. [John J. Jeferson property:]there was a pond and a watermelon field. He grew vegetables, and specifically remember watermellon. The neighbor kids would sometimes get in the patch. That was right on the river bottom where they grew the watermelon. They grew some corn. . . . Very hilly country. . . . Willians and Burnam' lived nearby and were related. . . Grandparents were very poor people. Their house had 4 rooms downstairs and a big attic like room upstairs. . . .There was another house, the original house, I remember the foundation still being in the pasture. It was tore down by the time I was a kid. I grew up on the 2nd house on the same property. Current owners are not related. House is being used as a Corn Crib. It is very difficult to get in there. The Jones House was on top of a hill. They used to call it the Jones Hill. At the bottom of the hill was a creek. I can't tell you the number of cars that got stuck on that hill coming up. Grandpa would have to go down with his team of horses and drag up the hill. My stepfather who had a '29 Hudson and grandfather had to pull him up the hill. Still a problem, the roads have to be really good and it has to be really dry for you to be able to get into there. These roads are not used much. If you go by the Grimshaw place with a pair of binoculars I can see over the hill to the house. You walk from there over down through the pasture. . . .I started school there. I had to walk across the pasture, up the road to the Grimshaw's, then down the road. It was a pretty good walk for a little bitty kid. . . .They sat on top of the hill so they didn't have to worry about flooding. . . There was no inside plumbing or electricity, but these were the early 20's. My Aunt Alice, Grandma's sister, she lived with Delbert Burnham, one of her sons. They had a house on the main road through Callao. So they built her a little house. She would never use the new house's plumbing but instead go out to the outhouse. Grandpa was a red head. Grandma was a little bitty thing, not over 5' 1". Probably never weighed 100 pounds except when she was pregnant. She had dark hair. My mother always said that she thought she (Sarah Jane] looked like Katheryn Hepburn. Grandma had this black hair up almost until she died. She had one little gray streak. She used to comb it over the gray so it wouldn't show. She was a very sweet lady. Grandpa was too. But he died when I was six. I can still remember quite a bit about Grandpa, because when the weather was bad he used to ride his horse over to school and ride me back home on the horse. The whole family had a pretty good sense of humor. Grandma would never allow card playing in the house. For some reason, so many of the kids loved to play cards. Johnnie got killed coming back from a card game or crap shoot. He was in an old touring car and they went to go over a bridge and the lights went out and the car went over the bridge. There were two Jones that got killed in that accident. Johny and another Jones who were not related. Tommie loved to play. My mom loved to play. She loved to play cards. Irene and Jeffie loved to play. I don't if Alice liked to play. . . . [tape recording skipped regarding the church they belonged to] They just had roaming preachers. Arthur Grimshaw [their neighbor and cousin] was a preacher and he would also preach at the Old Chariton Church. Because everything was named after the river up there. Grandma was very very religious. I can't remember that Grandpa was all that religious. I remember that they were both Democrats because Grandma had one brother, he was Wilbur Sloan and they had two daughters, both dead. One of them never married, the other married and had a daughter, but I have no idea where she is at. I remember that Mother [Edna] used to say that one time Uncle Wilbur came by and wanted my Grandmother to go vote. My Grandpa said no, he thought Uncle Wilbur was a Republican. So he didn't want her to go vote. Then something Uncle Wilbur said made him think he [Uncle Wilbur] was a Democrat. So he said Sarah Jane you get ready and go vote. They ate the food raised on the farm. Of course when we killed a pig we ate it. Everything had to be canned, because there was no refrigeration. Hams and bacon were smoked. I can remember my Grandmother making cottage cheese and remember they hung it in the smoke house by cheese cloth. This dripped and dripped. I have never ate cottage cheese that was as god as that. Vege6tables in the summer time. They canned a lot of vegetables. We didn't eat badly, just stuff grown on the farm. I remember they killed pigs, I can't ever remember them killing cows. I know we had milk cows. I don't think they ever butchered a cow. They were as prosperous as any farmer was around there, but nothing like the Grimshaw's. The Grimshaw's had more. Their house was bigger. The twins, Arthur and Charles lived next to each other. She sold the farm after Grandpa died. Maybe a year or so, I don't remember. She moved to a little town called New Cambria. We lived there a short time. Then she moved to Macon. We had a little house in Macon. I used to go back there in the summer time, until I was 13 when she died. Jeffie, he lived in Macon, part of that time too. Jeffie subsequently moved to Keokuk, Iowa. He lived up there for many many years., Principal=Sarah Jane Sloan18
