Reuben Jones, of McKeansburg, Dead.
Reuben Jones, who departed this life on Sunday morning, in his 81st year, was born in Longswamp township, Berks county, in 1813. Sixty years ago he came to Schuylkill county with his father Carl Tschons and located near McKeansburg, where he has since resided, and lived upon the farm where he died a continuous period of fifty- two years. He was married to Sallie Heisler, a sister of the late well known Marshal Heisler, of the C. & I. police force. She died in 1858, after bearing to her husband twelve children, nine of whom survive at this time, namely: Reuben, of Pottsville: George J., Chicago; Daniel M., Wichita, Kansas: William A., McKeansburg: Rebecca (Mrs. Brenner) Mahanoy City; Mary Ann (Mrs. Benjamin Seltzer) Shenandoah; Eliza (Mrs. Mehle) Mahanoy City: Caroline, at home. In 1860 he was married a second time to the widow of Samuel Leininger, who survives without issue. Deceased was a good citizen, a man of street integrity and force of moral character commanding the respect of all who knew him, who raised a large family, all of whom are pursuing useful and exemplary lives. His funeral will take place From his late residence on next Saturday morning, the delay being occasioned by the distance that must be traversed by some of the sons and relatives who reside in the west.
