Personal Notes:
"This is Your Life: William Wesley Jones" by Helen Jones Norris, September 23, 1979.

Born between Bremen and Carrollton. Moved to Arkansas when six weeks old. On train to Memphis with a special car reserved for the family. Continued journey by wagon. Came by wagon on north to Earl Hendrix place. Had whopping cough. He and his mother rode with Dr. Jackson. First lived on Bob Nutt place near Center Hill. The next year the family moved to the 56 Community east of Bono, AR. Later they move to the ouse built by Jasper Jones, the two-story house where Helen Jones Norris was born and raised. This house was located near Caldwell Chapel. Turn in front of Aunt Lula's (Fate's Lue) house and going toward Caldwell Chapel, it is the first house on the left. One one room of the house is now standing amidst the locust trees (1979). Uncle Will's dauagher, Doris Baugh and family own the place now. It also has a hugh pecan tree set out by Helen's dad, Daniel Jones.

William Wesley's first school was Gamble School, after that he transferred to Crossroads School and later to Caldwell Chapel School. He was piling brush over in front of the house built by Jasper Jones. He worked so long and it was so cold he froze to death. No fooling. Dr. Smith pronounced him dead. the good lord wasn't finished with him though, for he was revived. Another time he went to a rail-splitting when he was 12 years old. He split 200 rails in a day, cutting them from longs 8 to 16 feet long and four feet thru.

Will has always enjoyed horses. He and his brother, Fate, would "break" or train some pretty wild horses for Sam McKinney.
