Ralph Jones Scholarship
Purpose
Ralph Jones, a lifelong Summers County resident, was instrumental in its development in the last half of the 20th Century. He attended Talcott High School, served in the U.S. Army, and was employed by the C&O Railroad. Later he became active in business as a builder and developer of the Pine Hill sub-division and the first cable television system in the Hilldale and Talcott areas. An accomplished musician, Ralph was well known for his guitar, fiddle playing, and singing. He loved fishing, restoring antique cars, and woodworking. A generous Good Samaritan, he attended Trinity United Methodist Church in Talcott. His family and many friends created this memorial scholarship to encourage young people to pursue vocational education after high school.
