what does the C. stand for in Olive C. Jones name?

Question

She is one of the founders of the sorority Delta Sigma Theta. Founder in 1913, January 13, 1913 to be percise at Howard University.

Answer 1

Good question. I just saw the middle initial used. If it were a man I would suspect it was just an initial of convenience. Being a woman, I would suspect a maiden name. But my sources didn't go there and didn't say, or I missed it. Sorry.
