F. M. JONES
Born: March 14, 1837
Died: December 19, 1909

The death dates for Felter's brother's and sister's are based on what was written in his obit when he died in 1946. It states that he is survived by his brother Luther, and two sister's: Mrs. Lillie (Lillian) Jones, and Mrs J. J. Smith.(which is Ida)

I have a letter written to my gg-grandfather. There are some words that can't be made out, and considering when it was written I had to add comma's and such. But I have transcribed the letter the way it was written. The letter is written to him and he is referred to as an uncle Marion. Also referred to as uncle's are Luther, Virgil, Perry, and Jesse.
