Hoover Jones, age 81 saw his first sunrise on November 5, 1928 in Callands, VA. The sun set on his long life Sunday, July 18, 2010 at his home in Columbus. After spending time in the Army he moved to Columbus to begin his career in construction which included the building of the Anheuser Busch plant. He was later employed there, working his way up to Production Supervisor. After his retirement, he enjoyed driving a truck for Jones Fuel.
