American actors Grandpa Jones (1913 - 1998) and Minnie Pearl (1912 - 1996) in a promotional portrait for the television program, 'Hee Haw,' circa 1978.
The Henderson County Historical and Genealogical Society in western Kentucky wants to honor Jones by marking his birthplace. They need $2,500 for a historical marker and thus far, have only raised a portion of the needed funds. Those interested in making a donation can do so by mail, directly to the historical society at P.O. Box 303, Henderson, Kentucky, 42419.
