Charles T. “Casey” Nones
Charles T. “Casey” JONES, 63, prominent Rochester businessman and manufacturer,
died unexpectedly Thursday at 11:15 p.m. at his summer home on the north shore of Lake
Manitou from a massive coronary attack.
Mr. Jones had not been in ill health ad his death came as a shock to family and friends.
He was owner of Jones Implement company, dealer in International Harvester farm
equipment, at 226 East Seventh street, and also owned Magnetic Shield division of Perfection
Mica company at 528 Monroe street. The latter firm fabricates electromagnetic shields used in the
U.S. missile and rocket programs.
Long active in local civic work, Mr. Jones had been trustee of the Elks lodge and often
made sizeable donations to worthy local causes.
The son of the late Charles T. JONES, Sr., who served as Democratic mayor of Rochester
from 1930-34, he was that party’s candidate for mayor in 1959 only to lose by 16 votes to the late
Ray MYERS.
Born Jan. 16, 1907, near Tama, he was the son of Charles T. and Anna Viola DEAMER
JONES, Sr., and had spent his entire life in the Talma and Rochester areas.
He graduated from Rochester high school in 1924, attended DePauw university one year
and then returned to Rochester to enter the insurance business with his father.
Ten years later, in 1936, he entered the farm implement business and opened his own
firm at the East Seventh street address in 1939. The Magnetic Shield operation was begun there in
1955 and later was expanded into a new building nearby.
Mr. Jones was a member of the Elks and Moose lodges and of the Rochester Chamber of
Commerce.
His marriage was April 11, 1929, in Kokomo, to Lillian KORBY, who survives.
Also surviving are a daughter, Mrs. James (Pamela) LOEBIG, R.R. 1, Rochester; a son,
Francis K. JONES, R.R. 1, Rochester, who has been associated with his father in business; seven
grandchildren; two sisters, Mrs. Eva KILLION, of Ohio, and Mrs. Marjorie BRYANT, Florida;
and nieces and nephews. Two brothers, Herman and Aaron JONES, preceded in death.
