DR. FREMONT C. JONES, one of the most successful and prominent physicians and 
surgeons of Cambria county, Pennsylvania, is a son of Thomas L. and Martha 
(Williams) Jones, and was born in Cambria township, Cambria county, October 26, 
1861.
     Dr. Jones received his elementary education in the public schools of 
Ebensburg, and under the private tutelage of Rev. T. R. Jones. Subsequently, he 
entered upon the study of medicine under the preceptorship of Dr. Abner 
Griffith, of Ebensburg. Having completed the required course of reading, he 
entered the medical department of the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, 
from which renowned institution he was graduated with honor in the class of '85. 
Immediately after graduation he located at Ebensburg where, by close application 
to professional duties and careful and skillful treatment of diseases, he has 
established a large and remunerative patronage.
     Progressive and energetic, he is alive to every movement which has for its 
object the advancement and improvement of the medical profession. He is a member 
of the Cambria County Medical society, and of the State Medical society of 
Pennsylvania, and is an active worker in both organizations. He is a physician 
to the Pennsylvania Railroad company, at Ebensburg, and the Cambria county 
almshouse and jail. He affiliates with the Republican party, but has never 
sought nor filled offices. Religiously he is a member of the Congregationalist 
church. Fraternally he is a member of Sunset Lodge, No. 312, F. and A. M.; 
Highland Lodge, No. 428, I. O. O. F. and Jones Camp, No. 227, Sons of Veterans.
     On October 14, 1886, Dr. Jones and Miss Mary E. Davis were united in 
marriage, and to their union have been born two daughters: Marian, aged eight, 
and Martha, aged six.
     Dr. Jones is a man whose standing, professionally and socially, is above 
reproach. Well read in the higher arts of his profession, and further fortified 
by a large and varied experience, he accurately diagnoses and skillfully treats 
diseases. He is public-spirited, interested in the education of the masses, and 
always in sympathetic harmony with all movements for the moral and economic 
well-being and advancement of those around him.
