A Monroeville World War II veteran who knew famous novelists Nelle Harper Lee and Truman Capote as children turned 101 on Wednesday, Oct. 11.
On Wednesday afternoon, his daughter Martha Moorer brought him a pie for his birthday. “It’s egg custard, his favorite,” she said. Lee didn’t hold a grudge against Jones’ daughter, Martha, or grandson, Matt Moorer, who was Lee’s physical therapist. Jones submits his weekly column by computer to the Monroe Journal. “He emails it,” Peacock said. “For a guy his age, he’s the most tech savvy guy I know.”
Jones took some journalism classes at a junior college after he retired in 1994 from his business, which sold janitorial supplies to schools and hospitals. Then he started writing the historical columns for the newspaper. After the war, they became golfing buddies, and when Van Hoose invited him to his wedding, Jones learned that Van Hoose was marrying a red-haired girl named Carolyn Eddins, who grew up in Frisco City, eight miles from Monroeville, and who for three years straight in 7th, 8th and 9th grades had beaten Jones in regional math and English competitions. “That red-haired girl always came in first and I came in second,” Jones said.
