Jones fund established

A special account was opened last week to help City of Albany employee Julian Jones, who was diagnosed with cancer about a month ago.

Contributions to help with Jones’ medical expenses can be left with any teller at First National Bank Albany/Breckenridge.

According to city manager Billy Holson, Jones has been a loyal employee of the city for more than eight years, continuing to work this summer even after he was diagnosed.

All of one leg was amputated at M.D. Anderson in Houston last week. Holson said that Jones developed complications over the weekend.
