Marine Corps World War II, Korean War
Julius Cohn "Jack" Jones was born Aug. 6, 1925, at the family's home in East Flat Rock, where he grew up, spent his early adulthood and raised his family. He was a 1943 graduate of Flat Rock High School.
He joined the Marine Corps during World War II and served in the Pacific Theater. The Marine Corps "re-called" him for duty during the Korean War.
He worked for the U.S. Postal Service out of the Hendersonville Post Office and was a rural letter carrier on Route 2. He worked for the Postal Service for 33 years. He became personal friends with his patrons from Fruitland, to Edneyville, to Gerton, Middle Fork and Bat Cave.
At the age of 12, he joined the Boy Scouts. He was among the first members of Boy Scout Troop 610 and attained the rank of Eagle. He was a Boy Scout leader of Troop 610 from 1946 to 1949 and again from 1952 to 1963. He then became an assistant leader for many years. He was a member of the Boy Scouts for more than 60 years. During the last 20 years of his life, he not only worked with the troop, but served on the Daniel Boone Council, passing Scouts on merit badges and the rank of Eagle. He rarely missed a summer at the Daniel Boone Camp.
He received the Silver Beaver Award from the Daniel Boone Council, the highest award in Boy Scouts.
He researched and studied genealogy for more than 40 years. He was a charter member of the Henderson County Genealogical Society and the Old Buncombe Genealogy Society in Asheville. He volunteered with the Old Buncombe Genealogy Society for many years.
His legacy is his love of family, the Appalachian Mountain people and the beauty of nature that he left to his children, grandchildren, nieces, nephews, and hundreds of boys.
