Samuel H. Jones, M.D. was born in Warren County, Missouri, November 27, 1837. His father, John Jones was an old practitioner of Warren County, having settled there in 1818 from Kentucky. He met his death by assassination in 1842. He had tried to have the laws enforced against evil doers, and at the hands of such men he received his death. Samuel's mother, formerly Minerva B. Callaway, was a daughter of Flanders Callaway, prominent among the pioneers of Missouri, and who married the daughter of Daniel Boone, thus making Dr. Jones the great grandson of the famous hunter. A portion of the original stone that was placed at the head of Daniel Boone's grave, is now in Dr. Jones' possession. At his mother's death, when he was but sixteen years of age, he went to Franklin County, and lived with a brother. He attended DesPaine's College at St. Louis, and in 1857. he began to study with Dr. Powell at Marthasville, Warren County, but at the end of a year, entered with his brother at Newport, Franklin County, in 1859 he attended the St. Louis Medical College, where he graduated in the spring of 1861. He then began the practice of his profession at Miller's Landing, and July 16, 1861, he was married in St. Louis, to Miss Cynthia A. Griswold, who was born February 8, 1843. In the fall of the same year he entered the army service at Osceola, and was made assistant surgeon under Dr. Dorsey in Colonel Johnson's regiment in Parson's Brigade. He remained for eighteen months in Missouri and Arkansas, when he returned home and resumed the practice at Marthasville. In 1864 he removed to Williamsburg, Callaway County, and subsequently practiced in Warren County again for two years. In 1870 he came to Henry County, and located seven miles west of Clinton, and in 1872, took up his residence in Ladue, where he has a very successful practice. In 1878 he opened a drug store, and has since been handling a good stock. Dr. Jones has for a time been buying stock and grain and in each of these industries, is doing a fair trade.
