Dear Ms. Hatfield;
I spoke to you recently about 2 panoramic photos of Miami Beach dating back to
1930. The photos were given to me by a friend, Mrs. Jane Jones, who recently
moved from Florida and she didn't know what to do with the photos. That's when
I decided to call the Miami Chamber of Commerce to see if anyone there might
be interested in the photos. Donna Zemo gave me your name and number.
This is what I know about the photos as told to me by the daughter-in-law (Janes
Jones) of the owner of the photos.
Both photos belonged to James William Jones (born 1910, deceased 1968). He
was a race horse trainer employed by Mr. John Schiff to train Mr. Schiff's horses.
Mr. Schiff was from Oyster Bay Estates, New York.
Mr. Jones had met Mr. Schiff in Aiken County, South Carolina, where Mr. Jones,
as a young man had worked around horse stables. Aiken County was a training
area for race horses. Mr. Jones would travel with the horses to Miami.
Mr. William Jones' son is Terry D. Jones of Marble Falls, TX. Terry's wife is
Jane.
Ms. Hatfield, if you have further questions, I can be reached at 407-359-4042 or
