Odus was the son of John Thomas Jones and Lusinda Jane Bond Jones. He was the third of six children. Uncle Odus was born on his parents farm in the Bolivar area.
He was the Brother to Nellie Mae, James Curtis, William Odus, Baby Sister Vonnie Lee, Opal Marie and Baby Sister Dortha Hellen Jones. And his Cousin Ancil Fisher.
The family moved to Scottsdale, Maricopa County, Arizona in early 1915 or so. As the land was cheap and the water for farming was more easily gotten. It was very sparsely populated at this time so there was only school for short times of the year so Uncle Odus' education came from his parents, who taught him to read, write and do figuring. He was a very smart man by the time he met and then started to court Wilma in 1928.
On November 21, 1928 he married Wilma Norene Taylor.
In September of 1930 we find him living in Christy with his young wife.
He and Wilma had three children: Roberta, Betty Lou Jones Plain, and Thomas William Jones.
On 14 Feb 1947 he lost his wife in Phoenix suddenly.
He married two other times, but I know nothing of these ladies.
He did eventually move over to Kingman in 1973 and this where he spent his retirement years.
