ARMVILLE, N.C. (WITN) -A local post office has been dedicated in memory of the late Congressman Walter B. Jones Junior.

The Farmville post office in Pitt County has been renamed for the Congressman who passed away in 2019.

Jones was a lifelong Farmville resident and represented eastern Carolina’s Third District in Congress for 24 years.

His successor, Republican Greg Murphy, and Democratic Congressman GK Butterfield joined more than a hundred area residents and elected officials as a plaque honoring Jones was unveiled outside the post office Tuesday morning.

Walter B. Jones was a great man who voted for the Iraq war but came to regret it so much he wrote hundreds of letters to families and said it kept him awake at night.

His family are publishing a book about it.
