This is the house where John Luther Jones was living, at the time of his death at the throttle of his engine, ?Old 382?, at Vaughan, Miss., April 30, 1900. A folk song has immortalized his name.

All the switchmen knew by the engine's moan's, that the man at the throttle was Casey Jones.

Erected by Tennessee Historical Commission.
