Jones, who paH.fd ijwav rfcPiitly at Hot Lake at the end of an illness of letipth, was horn on a ftirm npnr KredprickKhurjr, Virginia, Murch 4, Ifttfi. At the timo of hi ilcalh ho was 84 years, 4 months, ami 10 days of afce. The only near relations he ( lftaves ore the following: nephews and nU(ce: S. I., J. A., and G, W. Iten son of Union, Virginia K. Davis of Oakland, California; and IC. M. Jones of Lubbock, Texas. llesides these there are sevefal jfrnnd-nejiliews and nieces living in - California, Tcxn and Missouri- , , Mr. Jones was a member of a family of seven children, all of whom are now deceased, J a red A. beiwr the last one of the Keven to he call ed. His parents died when he was only a hoy and he went lo Ohio and lived "with an uncle. His next home was in Missouri, where I he young man received most of his edu cation. Afterwards he farmed long onough to become the owner of a wagon and a yoke of oxen. Then he in company -with 'Mr. Benson made the long and tedious journey to Ore--gon, landing in the Grande Untitle valley in the fall of W. At this . time there were only n very few ueople in the vicinity of what is now Union. 'After deciding to .. locate in this vicinity Mr. Jones - first engaged in the business "of freighting from Uma tilla Landing to the Grande Untitle valley and other points, having had the distinction of bringing lit the first load of groceries which was shipped into the valley. Kext' he bought aeren of land, later sell ' Ing this property and starting up in the butcher husiness at Pocahontas in 'Baker county. . Returning to this vicinity he again purchased land, this time becoming the owner in partnership with Ahira Johnson or :iiO acres near l alhenne Creek. After buying out his part ner and adding to his holdings he farmed thia land for several years, again selling out in 1HH1. He made his home with a sister after leaving the farm and after her death his lasl years were happily and quietly spent at the home of his nephew, J ' A. Benson, at Union, Becoming Ut a few days ago he was taken to Hot Lake and at 10 o'clock Friday evening he passed on, after u long and eventful life. Mr. Jones was a man who stood ready at all times to help the needy, was quick to answer calls for char ity, and these qualities in addition to a kind and genial disposition en deared him to all his friends and associates. Funeral services were held at the Jienson home Sunday afternoon, "Hev. Quinn of the M. K. church officiating. His body was laid to rest in the Union cemetery, near the scenes of the greater part of hisv life. Thus Union and Union county loses an . .other, of their pioneers, the grand people who came nto this valley and wrested the land for its wild stale . and made it possible for later gen erations to find comfortable and hap py homes. Only a mere handful of these honored pioneers are left and these are passing away all too rap idly. LEGION SEND NOTE OF THANKS TO OKREGOX IXnUXAPOIJH, Julr 2T,.
