A. Lytle Jones, one of the best known and highly esteemed members of the Porter county bar, died very suddenly at his home at 10:25 o'clock Monday morning, of neuralgia of the heart. The announcement of his death was a shock to his many friends. Mr. Jones was taken sick Sunday evening upon his return home from a trip down town. He suffered considerable pain during the night, but Monday morning his condition was not considered alarming. A few moments before he passed away he got up and went into the kitchen where he was stricken down, dying almost instantly just as his daughter reached his side.
Mr. Jones was born in Wayne county, Ohio, August 10, 1835. He was a son of William W. and Belinda Jones, who settled on Horse Prairie, Boone township, this county, in 1847. In 1849 his father was elected clerk of Porter county on the Whig ticket, and the family moved to this city the following year.
The deceased after attending the county and city schools, entered the State University at Bloomington, Ind., in 1852, and graduated in 1855, with the degree of Bachelor of Arts. He also studied law in the office of the late Judge S. I. Anthony. In the latter part of 1856 he was admitted to the bar of the Porter circuit court. After serving three years in his father's office as deputy he opened an office and began practicing law meeting with marked success. In 1882 he was the senior member of the law firm of Jones, DeMotte and Jones, his son, the late ex-Mayor Frank P. Jones, being the junior member, and Mr. DeMotte then representing this district in congress. This firm was dissolved several years later and Mr. Jones was then associated with his son for several years. For the past twelve years in addition to practicing at the bar he has been associated with Col. M. L. DeMotte in the Northern Indiana Law School.
Mr. Jones was a veteran of the late civil war, being a member of the 7th Ind. Cav., enlisting in May, 1863, and was mustered out in 1866. Previous to that he served as clerk in the Quartermaster's department of the Army of the Potomac, and was shortly after made Quartermaster Sergeant. Before being discharged from service he was commissioned Quartermaster of the regiment.
Mr. Jones was married on Oct. 6, 1858, to Miss Jennie Baugh, of Bloomington, Ind., who survives him together with one daughter, Mrs. Grace Wilson, wife of County Clerk Wilson.
Mr. Jones was a member of Chaplain Brown Post, G. A. R. Politically he was a democrat.
The Porter county bar held a meeting Monday afternoon to take suitable action upon the death of Attorney Jones. Judge McMahan presided.
Judge Johnston announced the death of Lawyer Jones, the oldest practicing attorney at the Porter county bar.
A resolutions committee was named including Senator Agnew, Col. DeMotte and Lawyer Bozarth, and instructed to report at 3 o'clock.
Another committee -- Kelly, Tinkham and Johnson -- was named to secure appropriate floral tribute.
The following resolutions were read by Col. DeMotte at 3:20:
