Jones Twp was surveyed in 1874. The first homesteader was Civil War veteran A. J. Jones, Sec 28, NW of W and Sec 29, SE of NE, coming from Hubbard County. When the township was organized July 6, 1900, petitioners named the township for him. A two-volume history of Jones Township written by Janet Fredenberg is an excellent source of information about the township. The cemetery did not officially exist until August, 1921, but all births and deaths that occurred in the township were registered as early as 1901. Note: The above information is from Janet Fredenburg's book (History) I walked this cemetery last week on October 5, 2003. I took digital photos of all the stones, and a copy of any picture is available by contacting me through Random Acts of Genealogical Kindness for Beltrami County whcih you can find by clicking my name on the TOC page for Beltrami or cut and paste: http://www.raogk.com Cecelia McKeig Jones Township Cemetery: Last Name First Name Dates Other Text or Information Arbogen Christian Nelson 1847-1925 June 16,1847-Aug 16,1925 Arbogen Nels 1877-1939 1877-July 10,1939 Daugherty Marguerite V.
