General Notes: Husband - William J. Jones

---

He was the only child of his parents and was reared by his paternal grandparents. He attended school in Trumbull County, Ohio, and in Mercer County, Pennsylvania, but was only thirteen years old when he began the hard work of a mine boy. With the exception of a period of eleven years, during which he conducted a general store at Portage, in Cambria County, Pennsylvania, he spent his entire life in connection with coal mines in some capacity. He came to Madera, Clearfield County, in 1902 to take the job of mine foreman.
During his residence in Cambria County he served three years as county auditor, being elected on the Republican ticket with a plurality of 1,500 votes. He also served several years as judge of elections and in spite of his many business duties was willing to serve on the school board on account of his interest in general education. His children received many advantages in the way of schooling that he was never able to enjoy.
He and his family were members of the Methodist Episcopal church, of which he was a trustee. He was a member of the Masonic fraternity and belonged to the Blue Lodge at Osceola, and was a member of the P. O. S. of A. No. 593, at Madera.
