Leander Page Jones (1847 – March 2, 1908) was a member of the Connecticut Senate representing the 12th District from 1893 to 1894.

[2] In his capacity as health officer, he formulated a plan to protect communities from infectious diseases which was adopted in the legislature, and served as a model for other states.

[2] Jones played a minor, but perhaps pivotal role in exposing President Grover Cleveland's secret surgery to remedy a cancerous jaw.

In 1893, Cleveland had surgery aboard a yacht owned by his friend E. C. Benedict, as it sailed off Long Island.

Jones told, fellow Greenwich resident, and newspaper reporter Elisha Jay Edwards about the incident, and a story about it was published in the Philadelphia Press on August 29, 1893.
