After doing the latest research on William Henry Jones I feel compelled to leave him an epitaph. Unfortunate we do not get to chose our grandfathers, if so he would be way down my list.
Most parents want a better life for their children than they had. Henry was the opposite. He took his children out of school at the first opportunity and put them to work on the farm so he could have a better life. He was very unaffectionate to his children and grandchildren. He was raciest and a male chauvinist and was the worst product of his time. My mother had issues all her life that I can relate directly to him. I think this properly shows what little respect i have for him.
