Notes for Bennie Oliver Jones
His WW I draft registration card, filed 12 Sep 1918, records Benj. Oliver Jones, age 18, residence Crix, Ky, born 13 July 1900, occupation farmer, employer Wm Jones, Rowan Co., Ky, nearest relative Sarah L. Jones <wife>, Rowan Co., Ky. It is signed Benjime Oliver Jones.
I can find no record of a marriage for Bennie to a wife named Sarah, and suspect that his mother may have been misidentified as his wife. (The cards are all filled out by the recording clerk, not by the registrant.)

Notes for Hettie Richardson
Her gravestone says Hettie R. Jones, 1901-1988. I am not entering the R as a middle initial because it may just stand for Richardson.
