Enoch Jones

 

Enoch Jones was born on November 17th 1933 in Nomocotton Texas, to be exact in German John's Mercantile. His mother had stopped to buy a Dr. Pepper on the way to the hospital. Enoch tried to enlist in the US Army in 1951 to go fight the Germans but was turned down by the recruiter because "That boy is dumber than a swamp stump". Enoch got a job tending bar at the Lake Tawokini Café and Bait shop at the age of 21 and worked there till his marriage to Junie. She made him quit that job cause it was "No Place for an upstanding Christian and future Mayor of Nomocotton to be hanging out!"

Of Course we all laughed at the time she first said it cause no one would have believed Enoch would ever amount to anything.

 

Enoch was appointed Justice of the Peace in Nomocotton Texas in the Summer of 79 when Old Man Thompson was caught in the "Compromising" position with one of them ladies from Dallas. They gave the Job to Enoch because it was unemployed again and they didn't figure he could mess stuff up to bad before they elected a new one in 1980. To put it mildly everyone in Town was real surprised when he turned out to be very good at it and was reelected the following year. Many of the Local gossips insist it is Juney that is the real brains behind Enoch amazing rise in the Local Political structure but the fact is Nomocotton Texas has always elected some real strange folks. Enoch was elected Mayor of Nomocotton Texas in Nov of 1996 and he still holds the job.

 

Enoch and Juney have seven kids: Enoch Jones Jr., Juney Jones Jr. (We tried to explain to them it didn't work that way but they wouldn't listen.), Bobby Jones, Hiram Jones, Lester Jones, Tom Jones (yea I know, what can I say) and Esmeralda Cantina Maria Jones (No one understood that one).

 

Enoch and Juney's first appearance was in "Uncle Hiram and the Super Bowl". Other appearances by Enoch were in Nomocotton: The War Years and Red Tractor Tank. Juney is the President of the local Historical Society so she frequently shows up in these narratives.
