More About George Jones — Vicki Lowe

Hi Linda, here is an article about my great grandfather, George Jones.  He lived at 321 Ottawa st.  I moved in in 1974 at age 4 with my Mom, Sharon (Boal) Libbey and Dad, to the same house, where he second wife Ila Munro was still living.  He taught piano lessons to some people still living in town. 

In 2017 I wrote about the Almonte One Man Band George Jones-Scrapbook Clippings of George Jones-The One Man Band from Almonte His great great granddaughter Vicki Lowe sent me this information so we could document it. Thanks Vicki. Keepin community history alive.
