Hubert Leroy Jones, 68, was found Saturday morning in his field. Emergency medical personnel determined he had died before his family found him. According to the report by Cpl. Jerry Dale Abston, emergency personnel were called to the farm at 4395 Shady Lane Saturday morning. Helen Jones, Hubert Jones' wife, told investigators her husband had gotten up early that morning to disc the field. When she finished cooking breakfast, she tried to call her husband but there was no answer on the cell phone. She walked to the back of the field and saw the disc plow on top of Hubert Jones and he would not respond. She returned to the house to call for help and to find her son, Jeff Jones. Jeff Jones was able to unhook the mules and tie them to trees before emergency medical assistance arrived. Abston wrote in the report County Coroner Tommy Copeland determined Jones died before the family found him that morning. It is believed Jones fell off the seat and landed under the plow. The disc plow was in use prior to the invention of the tractor. It had a seat with no sides. Jones was owner of Jones Trucking and Excavating and deacon of Rocky Point Baptist Church.
