The Roland Jones Family had a highly interesting background. Roland Jones came to Nacogdoches from Shreveport, LA in 1892. His Father, the Honorable Roland Jones, served a term in the US Congress from the Shreveport District. Roland Jones was the owner and president of the Nacogdoches Compress Company and established the first canning company in town. On February 14, 1893, Roland Jones married the Matthews daughter, Lillie Esme Matthews Boleyn, in the Christ Episcopal Church. They resided with the Mathews from the time of their marriage. Mrs.
Jones delighted in entertaining with large and lavish
parties. The large double living rooms and dining salons, off
the large center hall, could be opened to provide room for dancing.
The home was recorded as a Texas Historic Landmark in 1973. |
