     DR. PHILO EVERETT JONES, a venerable and honored citizen of Portland who 
was long numbered among the leading medical practitioners of the city, is now 
practically retired from professional activity save for an occasional 
consultation. He was born in Tallmadge, Summit county, Ohio, in 1848, his 
parents being Jackson T. and Sarah (Huntley) Jones. The father was born in 
Pennsylvania and was of Welsh extraction, while the mother was born in New 
Hampshire, and was of English lineage. They were married in Summit county, 
Ohio. The mother spent the last years of her life in the west with her son 
Philo, passing away in 1910 at the age of ninety-two.

     Philo Everett Jones, one of two sons born to his parents, pursued his 
early education at the place of his nativity and subsequently spent two years 
in the University of Michigan. His professional training was received in the 
Medical College of Cincinnati, Ohio, from which he was graduated in 1870, and 
he also did postgraduate work in Philadelphia, New York, London and Edinburgh. 
The year of his graduation he located for practice at Wauseon, Ohio, the 
county seat of Fulton county, where he remained for nine years and then 
removed to Red Wing, Minnesota, where he was engaged in the work of his chosen 
profession for fifteen years. Thereafter, because of impaired health, he spent 
three years in the mountains of Colorado and subsequently went to Salt Lake 
City, Utah. It was in 1910 that he came to Portland, Oregon, and here he was 
associated in practice with his son, Noble Wiley Jones, for many years, 
winning well merited recognition as one of the most skilled and capable 
physicians and surgeons of the city. Though he has now practically retired 
from professional labors, he still officiates in consultations, his opinions 
being generally accepted as authority. He is a valued member of the City and 
County Medical Society of Portland, is a charter member and past president of 
the State Medical Association of Utah and also belongs to the American Medical 
Association. In fraternal circles he is known as a member of Imperial Lodge 
No. 159, F. & A. M.; Portland Chapter No. 3, R. A. M.; and Oregon Commandery 
No. 1, K. T.

     In early manhood Dr. Jones was united in marriage, in Ohio, to Mary E. 
Noble and they reared a family of three sons and two daughters, as follows: 
Everett O., a practicing physician of Seattle, Washington; Noble Wiley, a 
successful medical practitioner of Portland; Ernest, who is employed as a 
finisher in the manufacture of sash, door and interior wood at Longview, 
Washington; Winona Jane, the wife of Professor Austin Larrabee, of Yankton 
College, South Dakota, and Evelyn, a teacher in the Lincoln high school of 
Portland.
