J. Arthur Jones Photos

J. Arthur Jones was the publisher and editor-in-chief of The Locke Courier, an eight-page newspaper that reported both local and national news to the residents of Locke. The newspaper ran from 1907 to 1915. Several interesting articles from this paper are reproduced elsewhere on the site. Mr. Jones was apparently an avid photographer. His photos, dated 1915-1917, show that the small town has recovered from the devastating fire of 1912. Click on the photos below to enter a slide show of larger images.
