The Oskaloosa Independent, Jefferson County, Thursday, August 21, 1875
David JONES died at his residence on Rock Creek, Jefferson county, Ks., August
8th, 1875. Was born in Wales, 1816. Parents emigrated to Canada when deceased
was five years of age, from there to Ottawa, Ill., from there to Potosi, Grant
Co., Wis., where he united with the M.E. church. There he married his first
wife, who lived only three years after marriage. About 27 years ago he married
his present wife, the family emigrating to Kansas and locating at Lawrence. He
suffered many privations to which the early settlers were subject, and narrowly
escaped with his life at the burning of Lawrence. Bro. Jones was a friend to the
afflicted, for he was the subject of great affliction himself, and could
properly sympathize with the suffering. Was a kind husband, and indulgent father
and a good neighbor. He leaves a wife and four children here, and numerous
relations and friend in the East to mourn his loss. We trust he died in the
triumphs of the Christian faith, and that our loss is!
 his eternal gain. Let us meet him in Heaven.
T.P. Pitzer.
