Jones, Seth Nelson, son of Seth and Rachel (Fitzwater) Jones, was born in August, 1833. Both parents were of
old pioneer stock in the county, and both were members of respected families. The old Jones home farm is still
in the family, the property of Seth N. At eighteen years of age S. Nelson started for himself. He worked on the
farm summers and taught school winters. About eighteen years ago he came to Himrods, and entering commercial life
as the active member in partnership with G. S. Ayres, became a dealer in grain, coal, lumber, seeds and phosphates,
doing an extensive and successful business. In 1858 he married Margaret Rapalee, by whom he has had one child,
Herbert A. Jones.
