Mattie Boyd / Prof Wharton Stewart Jones

PROFESSOR WHARTON STEWART JONES. On the 20th of December. 1888, Professor Jones was united in marriage to MISS MATTIE BOYD, a native of Memphis and a graduate of Vassar College. They are parents of two daughters: Mrs. Martha Wharton Jones, who is the wife of William A. Jones of Memphis, who though of the same name was not a relative; and Mrs. Mary Wharton Ramsey, the wife of Howard E. Ramsey, also of this city. The social position of the family is an enviable one, particularly in those circles where intelligence is considered a necessary attribute to agreeableness.
