• Notes

  The information we have about Harvey is a bit sketchy. On 05 Mar. 2001 Elaine Jonas Chaloupka made this statement about her Uncle Harvey: "Harvey Jones was an Air Force Col. he died when he was around 50. ( I think) He died in Texas from heart trouble. He had a wife named Dorothy and a son Byron, who also died at the age of 50. Aunt Dot is still alive I think. She was asked if she ever met Harvey: "Yes I met them they were very nice and talked with a southern accent. only saw them twice in my life. Aunt Dot is an American Indian." She was asked if Harvey was older than Frederick: "He was older than Grandpa. I think the oldest or second oldest. Grandpa was the youngest boy." On notes written from speaking with Marie Jonas wife of Frederick Jonas: She stated: "Harvey entered the service when he was 17."
