  that position until April, 1898, when he was promoted to general
  superintendent of both the office and the mills, and now has charge of all
  the business transacted at the great plant in Beaver Falls. This immense
  plant covers twenty-three acres of ground, upon which are five main
  buildings, with the following departments, - rod, wire, barbed-wire,
  galvanizing, and nail, - and when in full operation, gives employment to
  about nine hundred men. Mr. Jones commands the respect and good-will of the
  many employees under his supervision, as well as the confidence and esteem of
  his superior officers; he is a very energetic young man, full of business,
  thoroughly understands all lines of the iron industry, and is fully competent
  to fulfill all the duties of his present high position.

  Pa., and their home has been blessed by the birth of one son, Robert. He is a
  faithful member of the Royal Arcanum and of the Heptasophs.
