DAWSON-PERRY BIBLE Holy Bible, American Bible Society, New York, 1852, found in the books and papers of the Reames family who had kept boarders and roomers for many years, and were Methodists for the last several generations. The small Bible has been destroyed, but the Family Record page and publication page have been placed in the files of the Society by Mrs. J. P. Morris, Jr. Her husband was a Reames descendant. The two family names mentioned in the only entry in the old Bible are unconnected to the Reames family, as far as is known. RECORD Married on the 29th of June 1854 Samuel B. Dawson and Lydia I (or P) Perry Page 127 BENJAMIN JONES RECORD This record is taken from a clipping, probably from the Methodist Christian Advocate, pasted into a journal which belonged to Rachel Ann Wisner Bangs, wife of Rev. Benjamin Jones, whose Bible Record (see page 56 of this Volume) has been submitted to the Society by Charlie Holcombe Pitcher of Baton Rouge. Benjamin Jones was her great grandfather. Mrs. Pitcher says Rachel A. W. B. Jones was born Nov. 21, 1820. Her mother, Sally Burritt, was born in Danbury, Conn. Aug. 3, 1789 and married Heman Bangs who was born in Fairfield, Conn. April 15, 1790. Another clipping from the journal, not copied in full, tells of the death on Sunday, Oct. 29 (no year) on board a steamer, on the Mississippi River, 100 miles below St. Louis, of Annie Clinton (Jones) aged 1 year and 11 months, only daughter of Rev. Benjamin W. B. Jones of Jackson, Louisiana, and granddaughter of Rev. H. Bangs "of this city." This obituary of Rev. Jones is long, but will be of interest to many early Methodist families not directly connected because there are clues here as to where to look for records of Louisiana people - for example, in Arkansas Conference records for the period before 1840. IN MEMORIAM Benjamin Jones was born in Campbell County, Va., Dec. 15, 1809 and died at Long Beach, Miss. June 20, 1893. Of his parentage and early life very little is known except that his father's name was John and his mother's Magdalen, and that they were both members of the Methodist Church. In his seventh year, the family moved to Kentucky, and in his twenty-first, Benjamin came to Mississippi, locating at Natchez, where he engaged in business as a builder . .... his choice of a life work. In 1835, in the class with Elijah Steele and William H. Watkins, he was received on trial into the Mississippi Conference, which then embraced also the territory of the State of Louisiana. His first pastoral charge was Alexandria. In the following year the General Conference transferred all of Louisiana, except the Florida parishes, to the Arkansas Conference, and thus the name of Benjamin Jones, who was returned to the same charge, does not appear in the Mississippi Conference Minutes until the secession of the territory mentioned by act of the General Conference of 1840. In the meantime he had been ordained deacon at Little Rock, in 1837, and admitted to elder's orders and ordained at Opelousas, Louisiana in 1839. His service in Louisiana, though a hard one, operated only to prove his loyalty to the Master and to confirm that rare combination of self reliance and faith in God which was one of his most prominent characteristics. In that ungrateful soil it was his privilege, while sowing with his own hand the seed of the kingdom, to water also that which had been planted by Winans, Drake and Clinton. If every reader of this sketch were well acquainted with the movement of Methodism in Mississippi and Louisiana during the last half century, the Advocate might well spare the space for a complete list of Bro. Jones' appointments in the fifty-six years over which his active ministerial life extended. A few only need be mentioned to show the variety and extent of the service which he rendered to the Church. Page 128 At the Conference of 1849 he was appointed to Woodville station, in 1841 to Wilkinson circuit, and in 1842 and 1843 to Centenary College and Brandon. To this latter work and its associations was due, in some measure, his ardent interest in education and his prominent connection with the work of the church in that field. During his pastorate here a wonderful revival swept the college, and made upon the community an impression which abides to this day. In a letter to the presiding elder, Bro. Drake, at the end of his first year, Prof. W. H. N. Magruder of the college faculty, writes as follows: "The subject that fills my mind most at this time is the return of Bro. Jones to this place. His talents command the respect, and his deportment as a minister and friend is such as to secure the affection of the young men. They are all anxious to have him returned. " Among the Mississippi delegates to the eventful General Conference of 1844 the name of B. Jones appears as alternate. While in attendance upon this great convention he was married, on June 11, to Miss R.A.W., daughter of Rev. Heman Bangs, pastor of Forsythe Street Church, in New York City. To this union were born two sons, Steven and Nathaniel - both successful and pious men, the former a merchant in Baton Rouge and the other a lawyer in Chicago. Upon the removal of Centenary College to Jackson, La., Bro. Jones was made its agent, having spent the two previous years in charge of Natchez station. His work in 1847 and '48 was Feliciana circuit, in former of which years he established in Jackson the Feliciana Female Seminary, an institution which, under his prudent management and the tutelage of his gifted wife; had a large success, having among its graduates some of the first women of Mississippi and Louisiana. Yielding to a conviction that it was not in accordance with the spirit of the Discipline for itinerant preachers to engage in private business of any kind, he located in 1851, but continued to preach regularly in the churches about Jackson, Clinton and Bayou Sara. In 1856 he took charge of Port Gibson Collegiate Academy, and, being re-admitted into the Conference, was appointed to Port Gibson, Grand Gulf and Colored Mission. Subsequently, while connected with the Academy, he served various charges in the surrounding country. From 1861 to '65, the school having suspended on account of the war, he was presiding elder of Fayette district; the latter year, while on the Brookhaven district, he was elected to the General Conference of 1866. While he was pastor of Wesson and Beauregard charge in 1868, Mrs. Jones died after a long illness, leaving upon her many former pupils and a large circle of acquaintances the impress of a rarely cultured and consecrated life. In 1869 he was again called to the presidency of Port Gibson Collegiate Academy, and in February of the following year was married to Mrs. M. A. Redding, whose daughter, Alice, is the wife of Rev. G. A. Oates, of the Los Angeles Conference. With her he lived happily until her death at Woodville, Miss. in 1880. In 1871 he resigned his position in the Academy and returned to the pastorate, being appointed to Summit and Magnolia. From this time, though indirectly connected for a year or two with Page 129 Woodville Female Seminary, he gave himself to pastoral work. In 1881, he was married to Mrs. Rebeca Wylie, daughter of E.H. Wailes, Esq. of Woodville, who survives him. Bro. Jones' last pastoral charge was Clinton., La., from which at the end of his second year he came to the Conference of 1891 and was superanualted at his own request. With characteristic forethought, he had arranged to open a school at Long Beach, on the Gulf Coast, and to this work he devoted himself for the next eighteen months. Being unable to attend the Conference session of 1892, he wrote to his brethren an affectionate letter, full of gratitude to God for his abiding grace, and closing in his own quaint way, "Permit me to say, Brethren, Glory to God. " The last days of Bro. Jones' life were calm and peaceful. The Sunday before his last on earth, though quite unwell, he went as usual to the house of God. A large congregation was present expecting service by the pastor; but as he was unable to preach, Bro. Jones, at his request, went into the pulpit and for half an hour, spoke out of a full heart in his clear, practical way on the Golden Text of the morning's Sunday School lesson: "Not slothful in business, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord." It was a congenial topic, and the words spoken were with the power and unction of the Spirit. The congregation were gravely attentive, softened and subdued in the presence of the one who had daily lived before them the higher Christian life he was portraying. For several days following he worked in the garden, as was his custom, and helped about the house, but toward the end of the week his illness assumed a form which made necessary a painful and dangerous operation. From this, owing to his unwonted vigor and strictly temperate habit, he rallied, but fever setting in, he gradually grew worse, and died at mid-day of June 20. When told by the physicians that the end was near, he said calmly, "I do not feel like a dying man; I am not afraid to die, but cannot believe my work is done." He had long prayed that he might have a quiet death, and those who gathered about his bedside felt that the prayer was answered. To die was all he had to do. To his wife, and to his son, Steven, who had come in answer to a telegram, he gave a few directions as to his burial, dictated a letter to his younger son in Chicago, and one to Dr. Thornton concerning his superannuate's portion, and tried to send a message to his brethren, but his strength failing, he straitened himself in bed and waited for the summons. In the evening of the last day a neighbor sang for him a favorite hymn, "Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound." At the last verse he raised his hands and feebly tried to shout. A little while after as he lay looking outward the gates of Heaven, seemed to be thrown wide open, "And from a happy place God's glory smote him on the face." When one of the watchers in awed tones exclaimed, "How beautiful," he answered faintly, "Shining, shining." Again they sang a song of Christian triumph. Page 130 "They saints in all this glorious war Shall conquer, though they die," and again the light flooded his countenance, and God's presence filled the room. Thus conscious to the last, with heaven all about him, he fell asleep in Jesus, and was laid to rest at the cemetery at Woodville. The barest outline of a life so long and so eminently useful as that of Bro. Jones touches the limit of the ordinary obituary; but a few words may be added as showing more particularly, his character and the estimation in which he was held by more than one generation of good men. Writing of him in his earlier life, Prof. Magruder says: "I first met Bro. Jones at my brother-in-law's, Mr. Drake's, in 1836, and was greatly impressed with the earnestness of his convictions and the courage of his purpose to master the assigned courses of study and to make of himself what he became, a true, faithful and efficient worker in the Lord's vineyard. ... You ask my estimate of the man and the ministry. I have never risen spiritually to the measure of Bro. Jones' Christian life, and could not adequately express my own estimate of his character. I never knew a purer man, nor a character more equable nor better poised. He possessed, and in all the relations of life exhibited, all the qualities of a true man. As husband, father, friend, he lacked not one. I always classed him among the best preachers of our church. As a sermonizer, he was logical, spiritual, with an unaffected earnestness that was impressive without the slightest approach to fanaticism. He was remarkable for the purity of his English, and his delivery, though unpretentious, was in what I have always considered the highest style of oratory." From an acquaintance which began nearly forty years afterward, Bishop Galloway writes: "He had clear conceptions, What he claimed to know, he knew well. His range of thought was not as wide as that of some others, but I have known no man more accurate in knowledge, or more perspicious in statement. His distinct, deliberate enunciation indicated the clearness of his conceptions and the firmness of his convictions of truth. On these convictions he would stand to martydom. He was a model of manly and ministerial dignity, agreeable as a companion, prudent as a pastor, and in every relation of life above suspicion or complaint. He was scrupulously careful as to his financial credit. He avoided debt, as he would flee from the wrath to come. There will be no claims against the estate of Benjamin Jones. Bro. Jones was a theologian. He had mastered the "standards" and made them his own. Though an independent thinker, he never aped originality nor posed as a reformer. Subscribing to the doctrines of Methodism, he stated them luminously, and illustrated them in his own modest, consistent, consecrated life." Page 131 Bro. Jones was a model superannuate. In this difficult relation he bore himself with sweetness and dignity. He was helpful to his pastors, visited the sick, and worked for the Master without compensation, giving no sign of weariness or complaint. In addition to teaching through the week, he preached regularly once, and often twice a day, on three Sundays in the month. Honoring the past, loyal to the "old paths," he yet trusted the church and looked with steady faith to the future. Of his life work, that which seems most rare and in structure is what he did for education. With but few advantages in early life, he was an honored agent in the school work of the church; he helped to lay the foundation of Centenary College; built up two flourishing schools for young women, and was largely instrumented in securing the conveyance of the original Whitworth College property to the Mississippi Conference. He was the contemporary in more than years of three generations of great and godly men, and through a long life stood abreast with every advance movement of the church. As a man, he was eminent for personal integrity and love of truth. During the Conference of 1891 he said to Bro. Perry Drake and this writer: "If either of you should be called on to write my obituary, I want you to be sure to avoid the common error of giving undue praise. I want the truth and nothing but the truth told of me." As a Christian, he was characterized by the satisfying fullness of his faith in God. As early as 1839, writing to his friend, B. M. Drake, he thanks him for counsel which had settled his views of the doctrine and experience of sanctification. Whatever may be thought of this higher spiritual attainment, there is no doubt that when God called Benjamin Jones into his service he called all of him, and the whole man answered, "Here am I" For more than three-score years he walked with God, as friend with friend, and then like Enoch "he was not, for God took him." "Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright, for the end of that man is peace." R. S. Ricketts. DAVID D. FELPS BIBLE Holy Bible, Kimber and Sharples, stereotyped by E.

McGill, Jackson, La. and Mrs. E. Kittredge Sims,
, Shreveport, La. The old Morgan Bible is now in possession of Mrs. A. H. Starkey of Central, La,
, Baton Rouge. She was Donna Edwards, daughter of Mattie Morgan Edwards. The Bible is all to pieces, but photostats of the record are also in existence. Some of the later records are on the blank sheets after "Revelations." Mrs. Sims thinks it possible that Morgan Morgan was a son of John and Martha (Constant) Morgan of Hampshire, Co., Va., now West Virginia, and that it is very likely that John Morgan, father of Morgan Morgan was a grandson of Edward Morgan mentioned on page 543 of "The Boone Family." The record of the 12th child, Daniel, born 1802, is added here. Court records of East Feliciana Parish prove he was a son of Morgan and Jane Boone Morgan.
