General Notes: Husband - George O. Jones

---

He attended the Washington public schools, and entered Washington College as a student; but the Civil war called him away from his studies, and on February 26, 1864, he enlisted in Company A, One Hundredth P. V. I. On the second day of the Battle of the Wilderness, May 6, 1864, while making his way to the front, he was struck in the head by a minie-ball and fell unconscious to the ground. He was carried off the field for dead, his knapsack emptied of rations by W. H. Underwood, who thought George would have no further use for such things; but as a grave was being prepared, signs of life were discovered in him by Dr. Wishart, a surgeon of the One Hundred and Fortieth Regiment, and instead of being consigned to the ground he was ordered to a hospital. As a memento of this incident, Mr. Jones still carries in his pocket a piece of skull bone, about the size of a dime, which was extracted from the wound. After recovery, he returned to his company and served until the close of the war. He was mustered out of service on July 24, 1865.
In January, 1866, he resumed his studies at Washington and Jefferson College and graduated from that institution in 1869. After graduating, he entered the law office of John L. Gow, Jr., as a law student, and was admitted to the bar of this county in August, 1871. In March, 1873, he was commissioned a notary public.
He was a member and past commander of Post No. 120, G. A. R., Department of Pennsylvania. He and his family were members of the First Methodist Episcopal Church of Washington. He was also a trustee of this church.
