Charles E. Jones
Called By Death
Charles E. Jones, 79, died late Sunday night at his home, 681 North Fifth West (Provo, Utah), following a short illness. He had been a farmer in Provo for 60 years.
He was born April 19, 1868 in San Bernardino, California, a son of John D. and Susanna Boren Jones. After receiving his early education in San Bernardino schools, he moved to Mona, Utah with his parents while still a small boy.
In 1880, the family moved to Provo, where he attended the old Franklin school and later the BY Academy under Karl G. Maeser. As a young he was engaged in logging and worked in various saw mills. He and his father built one of the first saw mills in Provo Canyon.
He was married to Martha Jones (her maiden name was Jones) May 15, 1889 (see below) in the Manti LDS Temple. Following their marriage, they made their home in Provo.
Mr. Jones furnished the first team to break the ground for the first road to the MIA Girls' home in Provo.
An active LDS church member all of his life, he served an LDS Mission to the Southern States from 1898 to 1900. He served as ward teacher for many years in the old Provo Third Ward and held the position of high priest at the time of his death. He also was an active member of the Sons of Utah Pioneers.
Surviving are his widow, two sons and three daughters: c. Alma Jones of Orem, J. Gilbert Jones, Mrs. Charles W. (La Real) Mitchell and Miss Etta Jones of Provo, and Mrs. Joseph E. (Florence) Barker of Evanston, Wyo; 15 grandchildren and 11 great-grandchildren; one brother and three sisters, Irvin Jones of Tremont, Mrs. Rosa Robison and Mrs. Annie Spendlove, both of Provo, and Mrs. Ella Kelley, Los Angeles, Calif.
Services will be conducted Thursday at 12:30 p.m. in the Provo Third-Rivergrove ward chapel, under the direction of W. Frank Killpack, bishop of the Rivergrove LDS ward. Friends may call at the Berg Mortuary Wednesday from 6 to 8 p.m. and at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Charles W. Mitchell, 432 West Third North, Thursday prior to services. Burial will be in the Provo burial park.
