A man is being called a hero after diving into the Cedar River at Palisades-Kepler State Park near Mount Vernon last Sunday, trying to save two children he had never met. 41-year old Jonathan Paul Jones was fishing from the river bank when he heard screams and saw two children struggling in the water. Family members said Jones pitched his cellphone and wallet and dove in, with his own children standing by. They were able to contact relatives to pick them up after their father didn't surface. The other children in the water were rescued. Jones' body was discovered Monday.
