HOWARD C. JONES, M.D., was born in Hendricks County, Ind., May 4, 1853,
and is the only child of William W. and Mary Ann (Poe) Jones, both natives of Kentucky,
but married in this State.  Dr. Jones was reared at home, in Clayton, and afterward
worked three years in a woolen factory, but attended the common schools a due time.
After preparing himself, he entered, in 1874, the College of Physicians and Surgeons
at Indianapolis, from which he graduated in 1877, as Doctor of Medicine.  His first
experience was at Pittsboro, whence he removed to Marion County, and became 
physician to the Marion County Asylum.  December 23, 1877, he married at Clayton,
Julia A., daughter of Robert S. and Elizabeth Pearson, to which union were bestowed
three children--Rilus, Pearl (deceased) and Irwin.  Two months succeeding his marriage,
he moved to Hall, in this county, and began the practice of his profession, taking rank
immediately as a practitioner.  He is an old-school regular physician, and enjoys the 
confidence of his fellow-citizens, having graduated No. 1 in a class of thirty-four.  Dr.
Jones is a Republican and an esteemed citizen.
