General Notes: Husband - Jabez C. P. Jones

---

At the age of seventeen he entered upon an ap­prenticeship to the cabinet maker's trade, which he followed until 1860. For one year thereafter he was engaged in a mercantile establishment. The Civil war having broken out, he enlisted, in 1861, in Company B, 148th P. V. I., but he was taken ill, and after seven months and fifteen days spent in the service, he was honorably dis­charged and returned home. For four years he then engaged in clerking, after which he was em­ployed as a huckster and peddler for some years. Subsequently he followed contracting and gen­eral carpenter work two years, and then opened a restaurant at Milesburg, Centre County, PA, which he successfully conducted.
He was an ardent Republican in politics, and served as coun­cilman, assessor, and school director for twenty-two years, being secretary of the board for six­teen years and president two years of that time. He was also a member of the board of health, and auditor of the town for eleven years. In January, 1895, he was appointed burgess. On account of the injurious effects of his army service, he received a pension of $30 per month. Fraternally, he was a member of the Grand Army Post of Milesburg, of which he was com­mander for one year.
With his first wife he had nine children - three sons and six daughters - five of whom died in infancy.
