OBITUARY
Jones
Daniel O. Jones was born February 14, 1829, at Dolan, Parish of Liausantfreid, Cardiganshire, South Wales; died at his home near Rio Grande, this county, December 19, 1894, of heart disease with pericardial adhesion. His parents came to America with him and his only sister, Mrs. John D. Davis, of Oak Hill, in 1840, and they settled on a farm near Tyn Rhos, where they spent the remainder of their days.
When 18 years of age, Mr. Jones began clerking in J. L. Newsome's store in the old brick building at Ridgeway's. On the 5th of January, 1854, he was married to Nancy Williams, daughter of Joseph Williams, of Jackson county, to whom was born six children. Two died in infancy; four survive, Delton, Thomas, and Ernia, who are at home with their mother, and Belle, the widow of John M. Davis, who lives in her own home near Rio Grande.
After his marriage Mr. Jones engaged in the mercantile business on his own account, first at Centre Point, then at Vinton, and finally at Centreville. He was postmaster at the latter place eight years and Notary Public for many years. In 1875 he was elected Cashier for the Centreville National Bank, a position he acceptably filled for twelve years.
In this capacity his services were very valuable; for he had personal knowledge of the business interest of almost every patron of the bank, and though cautious, he was courteous and considerate.
On account of his good business judgment, he was elected assessor of Raccoon township three consecutive terms. In later years, he had lived on a farm near Rio Grande, where his children could enjoy better advantages for education.
Though not a member of any church, he was a liberal and a cheerful giver to the cause of Christianity, and in belief was inclined to the Baptist faith. As a man he was honorable and upright; possessed of remarkable knowledge of human nature, and though decisive and spirited if need be in his actions, yet he was loyal and true to his friends under all circumstances.
Mr. Jones will be missed in his home and in the society of his people; but there is a consolation in the knowledge that he lived an honorable, helpful and worthy life.
