case that of finding his own birth record. Jones pays he
knows that he was born, but Just
when or where he doesn't exactly
know.
Jones was placed In his dilemma
because he was placed on a door
step, when an Infant, and was nev
er adopted by his foster parents,
who knew nothing of his origin.
It was about July 20. 1001, that
J. N. Jones, living at Eighth and

time with the Broder market, form

Mrs. Cora Wilcox of the Bridge

monia, is reported as remaining

for at the family home.
Mrs. L. C. Eastman, Mrs. George
Hubbs and Mrs. Elgin McCleary

Romona club of Eastern Star this
week at the Eastman home.
Sunday school rally day, yester
day, at the Christian church, was
well attended. The third Sundav
In November is being announced by
Rev. Russell Myers as annual home
coming Sunday.
The Canby sessions of the Luth
eran Sunday school teachers' train
ing classes Is postponed from Mon
day night to later, because of the
impossibility of securing the neces
sary books.
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. -
