Melissa, Here is your info: S 1-c Raymond M. Jones, son of Susie V. Jones, entered the Navy Feb. 24, 1943. Trained at Farragut, Idaho. Served overseas on the Island of Hawaii. Discharged Jan. 1946. Is this the right Ray Jones? I can't tell you if the book is still available, someone living in Drew County perhaps can find out for you. Hope this helps.
