Nathan Alexander Jones was the son of Civil War veteran Alexander Jones and Nancy Elizabeth Allen. He grew up in Missouri, and he married Amanda Allice Cummings in Putnam County, 19 Nov 1891. After five children were born to the couple in Missouri, they moved to Alva, Woods, Oklahoma, and became the parents of three more children. He worked as a farm laborer when young, but became a master carpenter before 1910. He taught the trade to many in his family. By 1930, most of the family lived in Compton, California. Grand Dad, as the kids called him, and Granny (Allice) lived for a time in Paradise, California, with their daughter, Leeta and her husband. Grand Dad was always neatly dressed when I saw him in the 1950s. He liked to play solitaire and smoke a pipe. He gave me the Prince Albert cans to keep my marbles in. He was eighty-seven when he died. His children: Mavy Alvessa, William Marion, Wesley Pearl "Shorty", Icy Elizabeth, Leeta Verle, Alva Roscoe, N Arthur, Artie Raymon (aka Raymond A).
