JNO maps to John--i found a reference to John Arnold Rockwell of CT in congress. there is a speech given by him on abolishing the US Navy Spirit ration which is located here and has a picture of the frontspiece listing him as Jno https://www.history.navy.mil/research/library/online-reading-room/title-list-alphabetically/a/abolishing-the-spirit-rations-in-the-navy.html.
