Annie Elizabeth Cain was the daughter of Elijah Frank and Elizabeth "Lizzie" Owens Cain. She was born in the community called Segno, in Polk County.
Annie married Harvey "Hob" Jones on December 5, 1926. Annie was a homemaker and took care of everything at home while Hob was working. She and Hob were the parents of five children, two boys and three girls. Their children were Charles Ellery Jones, Muriel Dean Jones, Mary Beth Jones, Delores Jo Jones and Harvey Glenn Jones.
Annie and Hob settled in the Segno community and purchased land where they built their home with help from family and friends. Their home was the old "dog trot" type home with living quarters on one side and kitchen & living area on the other side. The dog trot was an open area down the center of the house from front to back. They had a well where they drew their water and toted it to the house until electricty was finally run to their community. At that time they bought a pump and had one line run to their kitchen so that they had cold running water. To wash dishes or take baths, they heated pots of hot water on the stove. Their bathroom was a two seated outhouse located as far from the house as possible. It was many years later when they built in the center dog trot and made it into a living room plus added a long kitchen on the back of the house. They raised their children there until each graduated from high school, married and moved away.
They tore the old house down in the late 1950's-early 1960's and built them a new three bedroom house with a bathroom in it.
Annie was a charter member, along with her parents, of the Magnolia Hill Baptist Church in Segno. She said that her mother had a bad leg so, to go to church, her father would saddle up the horse for her and her mom to ride on for the long walk to church. Annie and Hob took their children to church often and passed on to them all their love of God and Christian Faith.
Annie loved school but unfortunately their community school only went up to the end of eighth grade. She said she went to school two years in eight grade and her teacher got additional material just for her so that she could learn more. She always wished she could have gone to school to the 12th grade, but the closest school was 25 miles away and they had no car to drive back and forth. She and Hob encouraged all their children to graduate from Big Sandy, which they all did, and also encouraged them to get a higher education once they were grown.
Annie loved her family and enjoyed all the family get-togethers at their home. She was close to all her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. As long as her brothers and sisters were living, she made a point of always visiting them and inviting them to her home often.
Annie did not learn to drive until she was in her 50's and she taught herself to drive in Hob's old Ford truck. She was continued driving until she was in her early 80's.
Annie had a number of health problems late in life which brought her health down. She passed away from heart problems.
