Son of James Nelson Jones (1859–1924) and Armitta Florence "Mattie" Strickler (1864–1934). Brother of Clyde Roy (1886–1961), Maude Mustard (1888–1948), Lewis Elwood (1889–1965), Blanche Uldean (1894–1971) and George W (1900-?) Jones.
Cecil was a veteran of WWI, serving as a Corporal in the Hq. Co 70th CAC Artillery from April 3, 1918 to March 12, 1919. After the war, Cecil moved back to his parents' home in Indiana and took a job as a machinist in a factory.
Somewhere along the way, he met Edna Sullivan. They wed on June 25, 1921 in Richmond County, NY. Cecil worked in NY for a decade before the Great Depression. At that point, jobs in NY became extremely scarce so he moved back to Indiana and lived with his parents while working as a telephone lineman in Tippecanoe County. After the depression, Cecil returned to his wife and daughters in Richmond County, NY. They moved to Harvard Avenue where Cecil managed an automotive service station, and later worked as a chauffer for a taxi company. His wife's mother and two of her cousins lived with the family.
Cecil passed suddenly, two weeks before Christmas 1955. He was survived by three of his siblings, his wife and two daughters.
At the end of January 1956, Cecil's grave was marked with a flat, bronze military marker, commemorating his service to his country.
