Death of Henry Jones 

Henry Jones, one of the most prominent farmers of Cambria 
township, died Saturday morning at 8 o'clock at his home 
along the Carrolltown road, aged about sixty-eight years.  
Mr. Jones' health had been failing for the past three 
years, but he was able to be about his premises until 
Thursday of last week when he became ill with grip, other 
diseases following and causing his death.

Henry Jones was born in Wales. He came to this country 
about 1867 and located in this vicinity, where he was 
married in 1870 to Miss Mary Evans, daughter of the late 
Evan J. Evans. A short time later, Mr. Jones located in 
Baltimore, where he worked for awhile in an iron mill, 
after which he returned to Cambria township and had since 
been engaged in farming.  Besides his wife, he is survived 
by three sons: Arthur, at home; and Ambrose and William H. 
of Ebensburg.

Mr. Jones was one of the oldest members of the Calvinistic 
Methodist congregation here and served the church for a 
long time as one of its officers.  The funeral took place 
Monday, interment being made in the Lloyd cemetery.
