The first documented interment in Jones Cemetery was Lawrence Orr Jones, 5 year old son of William Manning and Telitha Jones. The boy died Apr. 9, 1858. So it's clear that the Jones family used the cemetery prior to the Civil War. There are two undated children's graves, Marvley L. and Waran D.
The two photos of the cemetery to the right were taken from the same vantage point, 106 years apart. The cemetery has changed very little.
Here's a passage from the book "Echoes Oolenoy-Pumpkintown", written 1980, "The Jones' Graveyard is located about a mile northeast of Wilford Medlin's Store. It is in a deep wood. There is a fence around a plot where thirty-four people are buried.
In this cemetery you will find the graves of Joel Jones, Jane Jones, Manning Jones, Telithia Jones, Bennett Jones and Wife Fannie Jones, Tandy Jones, H.S. Hendricks, Emma Tyner, Two foot stones, 16 unmarked stones and 3 markers not legible."
