Jonas C. Sikes edited a Baptist periodical called The Advocate of Truth, at least in the early 1900s (and perhaps later). In June of 1930 Elder Sikes debated Church of Christ evangelist E. A. Bedichek of Abilene. The debate was held at the Money School House pavilion, for two hours twice a day over four days. Sikes and Bedicheck had known each other 40 years. The topic of the debate was conditional and unconditional salvation (“Backward Glances,” The Paris News, Wednesday, March 13, 1957, page 4).
Jonas Sikes married Louisa Robertson Jones in 1880 in Mississippi, and they had one child, William Walton Sikes. After her death he married Louella Elizabeth Fletcher. He was the postmaster of Sikes in Hunt County, Texas in 1897-98.
