Baltimore County Union  July 19, 1902
Jonas Jones, who, in slavery times, was owned by the late George Austen, of 
Baltimore county, and who served the Austen family faithfully after 
emancipation, died at Atlantic City, N. J., a few days ago, at the remarkable 
age of 103 years.  He was a man of the utmost reliability and the members of 
the family thought a great deal of him.  When no longer able to perform any 
work he was cared for them and one member of the family saw that he had a 
decent interment.  Such faithful service for long years is a rare occurrence 
these days and such a man's memory should be held in high esteem.  Jonas was 
well known to man people in the central section of Baltimore county and no 
doubt the will be glad to learn that he was well cared for up to the hour of 
his death.  He never forgot his friends in this county, among whom all classes 
were numbered.
