George Elliott Jones
Author, Debater, Preacher
By R. L. VaughnGeorge Elliott Jones was born July 12, 1889, in Morrilton, Arkansas, but spent most of his boyhood in Plumerville, Arkansas, and graduated from high school in that town. In 1914 he graduated from Ouachita Baptist College in Arkadelphia, Arkansas. He was ordained to the ministry in 1912. He pastored various churches in Arkansas and Missouri. He was engaged in over 400 revival meetings and Bible schools in 16 different states. For two years he was Bible teacher for young preachers in Missouri and for four years, he served in the same capacity in Arkansas. He was the author of 29 books and booklets. For 12 years he was writer of Sunday School lessons for Associational Baptists. For over 30 years he contributed articles for various Baptist papers.
G. E. Jones was the son of Dr. William Allen Jones and Mary Etta Adams. He married Loleta Faye Crotchett (1900–1999) in 1919, and they had at least 6 children (one of whom may still be living). G. E. and Faye are buried at the Elmwood Cemetery in Morrilton, Conway County, Arkansas.
