Louis D. Jones was born near Vinton, Ohio in the year 1864. He took up railroading in his early life, advancing rapidly and became chief dispatcher of The Big Four in Ohio. In this capacity he came to Sanford Florida in the year 1901. Look abroad he saw a great future for citrus growing, invested in citrus property, and after becoming a grower learned from experience some of the difficulties in marketing the fruit. He became a dominating figure in organizing the Florida Fruit Exchange, and for a few years he was manager of the Orange County Sub- Exchange. His marked ability here caused him to be selected as general manager of the Florida Citrus Exchange, which position he held from 1913 to 1916.
Returning to his grove at Winter Haven after retiring from the management of the Exchange, he made his influence felt in all that made for the development and advancement of his community. He lived to spend and be spent for the good of others.
He was a man of enthusiasm, which was revealed through all his activities, railroading, lodge, club, and citrus industry. This element never waned, but rather advanced with age. He died at Winter Garden, March 14, 1922.
