Col Pick Jones Dead - Veteran of Texas Revolution and Friend of Sam Houston, David Crockett and Edgar Allen Poe
Seguin, Texas, October 19 - The death of Col. Pick Jones, which occurred at the home of R. J. Burges in this city at 8 o'clock last night, removes from this vicinity another old and distinguished citizen. Col. Jones was ninety years of age, a native of North Carolina, reared at Jackson, Tenn., a personal friend of Sam Houston and David Crockett; a class mate and room mate of Edgar Allen Poe at West Point, where he graduated in 1830-31. He was a first lieutenant in the Texas army in 1836, and heard the guns at San Jacinto, commanded a company in the Mexican war in 1846, and during the Civil War commanded the Sixth Tennessee regiment in the Confederate army.
