Charles Shelley Jones was my Twice Great-Uncle. He was the older brother to my Great-Grandmother, Trixie. The most that I know of him was his younger days tho my Grandmother told me somewhat about him as an adult. He eventually moved to the Cincinnati, Ohio area and remained there (except for summertime visits to Oklahoma) the rest of his life.
My family called him "Shelley" and his wife, children and grandchildren referred to him as "The Colonel" due to his rank in the Army. He was one of the very early graduating classes of Oklahoma State University which back then was Oklahoma A&M. Besides being a track star, he studied electrical engineering and became an engineer. He joined the Army and served in WWI.
Shelley had numerous professional accomplishments during his career. I think most of his family remains in Ohio.

Annie Jones, Dr. EA Jones, Shelley and his wife Anna. Anna's face was distorted in the pic, He was married for a short time to Anna and then it ended abruptly. I am not sure what happened. I do know that Trixie and family loved her dearly.
He later remarried and had a family. |
