Ron Jones-he was a 98 year old genuine American made cowboy!

Today was the funeral of Ron Jones from Rural, America. Although he lived in Nephi for the past 90 years, Ron-like this writer, always considered to be from Nortonville, which was where the Jones family had their homes and farms in the 1800's. The first photo show's upper Nortonville at the base of Mt. Nebo, where Ron used to get gravel for his work with Juab County. The lower photo is West Nortonville, and the grove of trees remain where he was born. As a kid he and Harold walked up to Uncle Will's to get sugar cane. He was born with horses around him, and his worldly remains were brought to the cemetery with a great team of horses. The funeral program tells of his great life and friendship to all who came his way. If he didn't know folks, he would greet them; become friends and treated everyone as equals. People from all walks of life loved him back. He knew the Juab west desert, which was his personal Garden of Eden. On one occasion, as the photo depicts-he made it a point to introduce a Chicago family to Vienna sausages, and for Ron, nothing finer could be eaten than those; grease saturated eggs; Spam; Bananas, and a Pepsi to swig it all down with, then cashews for dessert. A year ago, his photo was taken with two other genuine cowboys, and the promise was made that photo would be displayed at his funeral. The promise was kept, showing Ron Jones, John Larsen and Bob Garrett. Long Live Cowboys!
