This Throwback Thursday we we continue our weeklong recognition of Memorial Day and remember those who died in military service. While Dr. Percival Leroy Jones who served in WWI did not die in active service, we recognize and appreciate all Johnson County military personnel. Jones also served on the Lenexa School Dist. #46 Board and was Mayor of Lenexa from April 1921 to April 1923. As an early Lenexa physician, he was known for treating pneumonia patients, delivering many babies and making house calls.
