MILES R. JONES.

  At 12 o'clock Sunday night Mr. Miles R. Jones died at the family 
residence, Llyswen, aged 58 years, 1 month and 6 days.  Death was 
caused by a complication of diseases, which made him at times a great 
sufferer and which for three years had caused him to be an invalid. 
Mr. Jones was born in Petersburg, Huntingdon county, on January 21, 
1841.  It was thirty-two years ago that he was married to Miss Maria L. 
Livingston, the ceremony taking place in Huntingdon.  When the war of 
the rebellion came he served three years in the telegraph branch of the 
service of the United States army.  The war over, he engaged in 
mercantile pursuits and between the years 1868 and 1876 conducted the 
same in this city.  His health failing, he followed various lines of 
business until three years ago when he was compelled to cease from 
active work.  He was a member of the Second Presbyterian church. 
Surviving him he leaves his sorrowing wife and one son, E. M.  His 
father, Enos M. Jones, is also living, as are three sisters - Catharine 
A., Mary A., and Elizabeth, all of Altoona.
