==========================================================
C.W. Jones was raised in Sidney, Texas under the harsh conditions of the Great Depression. Despite his humble beginnings, Cyril, more commonly known as "Doc", became a very successful businessman with many accomplishments in his corporation, Jones Distributing, Inc. He was also involved in several hydroplane racing projects, with resulting world speed records to his name.
While my father did not attend university, his appetite for academic knowledge was voracious. It is known to us, his descendants, that he purchased a college level calculus text and completed it, every exercise. His command of the English language was impressive and seldom did a day pass that he did not learn something new. He was an avid reader and enjoyed a myriad of material, from technical literature to poetry and history.
Pursuant to his goals in hydroplane racing, Doc developed substantial prowess as a machinist Coincidental to his other great hobby, fly fishing, he used his talents as a machinist to create advanced and beautiful fishing reels, the result being numerous patents granted by the U.S. patent office.
C.W.'s passing was the result of leukemia and his actual place of death was a hospital in Comanche, Texas. He is interred in the Jones family plot located in the Northwest corner of Pendergrass cemetery... very close to where he grew up as a boy.
