MURFREESBORO, Tenn. (AP) – When newlywed Ransom Jones lost his wedding ring nearly 55 years ago in his parents’ backyard, he never dreamed he’d see that band of gold again.
Over five decades later, Murfreesboro homeowner Doug Cook was able to fulfill that dream.
“The possibility of bringing that back to somebody … is overwhelming. And ultimately, the value is priceless,” said Cook, who found the ring in late April.
‘A REAL EMOTIONAL BLOW’
Jones lost his ring while cleaning up after woodworking at the Apollo Drive home of his parents, former Murfreesboro Mayor Jennings Jones and wife, Rebecca Jones.
