General Notes: Husband - Joseph B. Jones


He was afforded the advantages of only a common-school education during his youth, and upon the home farm he remained until he had attained the age of twenty years. He then started out in life for himself as a lumberman, merchant and drover in Greenville, Clarion County, Pennsylvania, but in 1872 removed to Corsica, Jefferson County, and thereafter was prominently identified with the business and commercial interests of Jefferson County. In 1873, he suffered the loss of his store and its contents, as well as his dwelling, which were all destroyed by fire, but with his characteristic energy he at once set about to retrieve his losses. A man of good executive ability and sound judgment, he was able to guide and control different lines of trade, being at various times interested in the grist and saw mill business, lumbering, farming and general merchandise. He met with excellent success in his undertakings.
He and his wife were active and prominent members of the Presbyterian Church, in which Mr. Jones served as elder. In his political affiliations, he was a Democrat, and while not an aspirant for official honors, he capably filled a number of public positions.
