died in Fairfield Township
s/o George Jones
Although filling but a humble station in life and with but a limited circle of friends, within that station and circle, he stood but in bold relief as an upright, honorable, manly character. Perhaps but few men have lived who were more scrupulously honest. He was generous and hospitable beyond his means, in friendships brave and true as steel, and in politics, an uncompromising Democrat. he was chairman of the county executive committee during the last election. He was the second son of George Jones. His parents emigrated to Benton County in 1834. In 1859 he was married to Emily Elizabeth Jones, daughter of Clifton R Jones & Frances Yourie, they had three children, George Clifton, Frank D and Frances Gertrude.
