Description: From what I have read, it sounds like there might still be some stones around where this cemetery is - so HELP - if anyone can give me more details so I can find them - it would be very helpful.

Some information from an older newspaper article (from 1950's): Jones cemetery is southeast of the Veterans Administration Hospital on the bank of Lick Creek - on a high hill beneath an old dying fir tree and several oaks are three or four sand stone bases for markers, all that is left to show the old cemetery was once located on the grounds. It is believed there were between 40-50 graves. It is believed that the cemetery was started before 1833. The original 40 acres, of which one-half acre was donated for the cemetery. In 1889 the Jones Cemetery Association was formed. In the 1930's, the WPA undertook the project of cleaning up and restoring the cemetery. Since that time, some stones had been moved - and used as stepping stones.
