From: The History of Chautauqua County, New York and It's People, Volume III, Page 650; "Orrin Miner Jones, one of the most progressive and successful among the younger farmers of Chautauqua, Chautauqua county, N.Y., is a native of the town of Miner, born March 11, 1887, a son of Edgar and Rosa (White) Jones. The elder Mr. Jones was born in Sinclairville, N.Y., and for many years was the owner of the old Jones homestead, a farm of 160 acres.
About the time of the present Mr. Jones’ birth, this region was infested with a terrible plague of grasshoppers which damaged the crops so greatly that the family decided to remove to the West. Accordingly, when he was a lad of about three years of age, they took up their abode in the State of Missouri, where the father continued his agricultural pursuits with success, and it was in the West the son received his education, attending for this purpose the local public schools. Upon completing his studies at these institutions, he assisted his father with the work on the farm and remained thus occupied until he reached the age of twenty-two years, when he purchased a farm for himself, consisting of forty acres of excellent land, and there carried on general and dairy farming and maintained a herd of thirty-five Durham cattle. Here he remained until June, 1919, meeting with notable success in his enterprise, and then purchasing a farm of 137 acres at Chautauqua. He is now engaged in the development of this fine property as a dairy farm, and has a fine herd of fourteen Holstein cows which supply him with milk and other dairy products for the surrounding markets. He is an expert farmer and well posted in his calling, keeping himself abreast of all the very latest advances in agricultural methods and theory. He is also actively interested in public affairs, especially in connection with education, and for four years held the position of director of the School Board, while a resident in Wisconsin. He is a Republican in politics, and is an ardent advocate of the principles of that party.
Orrin Miner Jones was united in marriage, Aug. 24, 1910, with Margaret Jane Wallett, of Wisconsin. Mr. and Mrs. Jones are the parents of the following children: Edna Jane, now a student at school; Lucille Margaret and Vernon Margaret.
