Lots of Jones's and Delmont's. The bad boy of Watch Tower history (who published Zion's Day Star) would be the Albert Jones of Cincinnati. His third wife Bambina said she'd been married to someone from Cincinnati in a newspaper interview c. 1922,
Was there truly a second brother with the first name Delmont? Or is this a bit of confusion?
According to the family tree prepared many years ago by Ton, Albert Delmont Jones ("our" ADJ) had a younger brother named Delmont Jones (c.1875-1923). He seems to have spent his life in the Pittsburgh area. Both brothers are mentioned in the obit in the post.
