Miller line, thence along said line nearby a N.W. course to the said road down the branch to the station containing seventy acres more or less . The deed is very hard to read and all the words can't be made out with the naked eye. In November ,1900 Christian O. Jones bought from Elizabeth Saunders, excutrix of the James Saunders estate,a fifty acre parcel of land known as the NAT SAUNDERS PLACE. That made the Jones farm a total of 120 acres, more or less. Christian died shortly after she bought this land and it went to her 7 living children after the death of her husband Thomas Melvin Jones in 1947.
