Mrs. Helmick, who was well known throughout the state, lived to be 103 years old. Jones took the foundling home and there he remained until he was 19 years old. The foster parents told their charge when he was quite small regarding the circumstance surrounding his entry into their home. It was in 1929 that he learn ed who his parents were, and his true name. Meanwhile he enlisted in the U. S. army in 1920. A year later he was transferred into the FBI, where he remained until he resigned two years ago because of ill health. Since then he has been a resident of Ashland. He needs a birth certificate, he explained while in Albany, because he is a candidate for employment with the Boeing Aircraft corporation. Documentary evidence or witness es to his birth are necessary for him to attain his objective. Only by chance did Jones ever learn of his identity. While in Kansas City, Mo., 12 years ago, he was talking with friends when the subject of foundlings came up. Jones stated that he belonged in that category whereupon a Mrs. Powell, a member of the group, be came interested and inquired into his life and from whence he had come. When Mrs. Powell learned he was formerly from Albany she inquired further for details regard ing his discovery by the Jones fam ily. It was then that Mrs. Powell revealed she had attended his mother at his birth. She claimed that Jones father had taken the new-born babe from the mother before she had become conscious; had left the child on the Helmick doorstep and then told his wife that the baby had died. Mrs. Powell learned from her son, who was In the U. S. navy, that Jones' parents lived in the Philip pines, Jones set out for the Philippines, located his parents, and presented himself. It was only at that time that his mother knew he was alive. He found that he had several broth ers and sisters, all younger than himself. His father said he had discarded him because of the straightened circumstances of the family and a desire to move to Cali fornia. Jones came back from the Philip pines but did not secure documen tary evidence pertaining to his birth. He said he did not antici pate the need for a birth certifi cate. Now he finds that not only his parents are dead but so is Dr. W. H. Davis, who had attended his mother at his birth. In fact, no one is living today who can swear to Ernest Jones' birth, save Mrs. Powell, who is his last resource if he can locate her. Another thing of which Jones is certain but cannot prove, is his name. He was told by his mother that, had she not been deprived of him, she would have named him Ralph Joseph, after his father's brother. Reed was the family name, Jones attended grade school in Albany, but can find no record of his school attendance. - Rebekah Lodqe Observes 90th Date Foundinq Silverton The 90th anniversary of the founding of Odd Fellowship was observed In an unusually well arranged affair by the Rebekahs, Mrs. Pearl Porter, noble grand, and her assisting committee, Mrs. Mer cy Sylvester, Miss Olga Olson and Mrs. Frances Gehrke. in charge of the entertainment hour Thursday.
