Claude W Jones is the son of George Webster Jones and his wife Mildred Ann Millie Hicks Jones. He married Roberta May Michaels about 1915. Affectionately known as Daddaw and Granny, Claude and Roberta had seven children and many grandchildren. Although Claude died in hospital in Huntsville, his home was in Scottsboro, Alabama, a long time long resident of Jackson County. In the 1917 draft registration we see his signature and learn that he was the Post Master of his home town of Langston.

There are several records with Daddaw's birth date and they vary between May 10th and June 11th. I have changed it to June 11th until we can learn more. I might think in the stress of the moment Claude might have said his date incorrectly. But since we have two records with June one in the 1900 census and then how the gravestone was carved, whether on order of Claude and Roberta together as a per-need, or whether Roberta made the order herself she would have done it perfectly as she would have thought.
