General Notes: Husband - Isaac L. Jones


He received a common school education and during his early years assisted his father. In 1885 he went into the Prothonotary's office, as deputy, under John W. Seaman, with whom he served for two years and remained one year with his successor. Mr. Jones then became associated with John A. Howden, in the real estate business and at the same time was elected secretary of the Board of Trade. During the time that he was in this connection the firm platted a number of tracts of land, doing an extensive and lucrative business. He then purchased the interest of George W. Manifold in the Washington Ice Company and assumed its management. He was identified also with the Fair Ground Land Company, which he organized. Mr. Jones was the means of bringing a number of manufacturing plants to the city and through his efforts a large amount of capital was invested there which might have been directed to other sections without his public-spirited efforts.
He and his family were members of the First Methodist Episcopal Church at Washington. He was a member of the order of Elks and was identified with the Masonic fraternity from the time he was 21 years old, becoming a member of the Chapter and of the Council.
