Event Notes Note (1) The History of Doddridge County, West Virginia, p. 178, gives death in 1954 in Smithburg. "West Union WV Cemeteries" reports headstone reading of Apr 19 1954, and researcher Marilynn Davis Jones also specifies Apr 19 1954, while Ota Reed Fraker reports Apr 19 1957, clearly incorrect. But Doddridge County Death Record and WV State Death Certificate both state Apr 20 1954 in Smithburg. Obituary specifies day of week as Monday at 11 p.m., which would coincide with Apr 19 1954. Note (2) Obituary stated that "Corporal Boyd Haynes Jones, 24, an aviation gunner who was expected to go overseas for duty, was killed in Muroc, California, in combat training." The community of Muroc no longer exists, and the former Muroc Army Air Field has since been incorporated into present-day Edwards Air Force Base. His father's obituary stated only that he had been killed in plane crash in World War II.
