Penn Jones, Jr.

Penn Jones, Jr.

William Penn Jones, Jr. (October 15, 1914 – January 25, 1998) was a man with a varied background: as a hobo, a University of Texas at Austin student, a member of the United States Army, a newspaper owner (the "Midlothian Mirror" of Midlothian, Texas) and recipient of the Elijah P. Lovejoy Award. He became best known for his research into the John F. Kennedy assassination with his series of books "Forgive My Grief." One of the notable features of the books was the tracking of additional deaths thought to be connected to the assassination in some way; a version of that list was published in the magazine "The Rebel: A Newsweekly with a Cause" in 1983 as "Disappearing Witnesses."
