Henriette Jones

Henriette Ickler Jones was born November 15, 1933 in Friedberg, Germany. She was the daughter of Jacob and Maria Ickler. Henriette was raised and received her education in Friedberg.

Shortly after completion of her schooling, she met an American soldier, Donald Haynes, who was stationed there. The couple was married and had two daughters, Diana and Dorothy. Upon the completion of Donald's tour of duty in Germany, the couple moved to the United States to Michigan. The couple later divorced and Henriette returned to Germany with her daughters.

She again met a United States serviceman serving in Germany and was married to David Paul Jones on Dec. 7, 1962. They moved to Jennings in 1963 where they raised four sons, David Paul II, Daniel Anthony, Andrew Wayne and Thomas Woodward, Once her children where school age, Henriette accepted employment at the Hose Factory in Pawnee. She then later worked as a sand blaster for Dalton's Precision Works in Cushing. She then accepted employment for Earl Gibble, working as a clerk at the Gibble Station on the Cimarron Turnpike. The station was eventually sold to Phillips 66 and Henrietta worked there for a total of twelve years. After a short retirement, she returned to work for Baxter's Pharmaceutical in Mannford for a couple of years, retiring in 1990.
