Jones, L. G.
L.G. JONES, a farmer of Rockford Twp, was born in Putnam Co, Indiana, August 8, 1841, son of Nathan and Abigail (DEWEESE) JONES. The parents were natives of Kentucky and of Dutch, Irish and Welsh extraction. Nathan was brought up in Kentucky as a farmer's son, moved to Indiana and bought a farm of 200 acres, one half improved and the remainder in heavy timber. There he built a house and made many valuable improvements. In 1856 he sold out and moved by emigrant wagon to Appanoose Co, this state, driving a herd of cattle and locating upon a tract of 340 acres of prairie and timber, which he subsequently divided up among his sons and son-in-law, keeping 120 acres for himself. He resided there 9 years, making improvements, and then sold out and in the fall of 1865 settled where he now resides, upon 150 acres of land. There the next autumn his wife died, leaving 7 children: W.L., who now resides in Harrison County; Mary Jane, who married Henley MULLENIX and is now deceased; David A. of Nebraska; parks who died in infancy; .G., the subject of this sketch; Cenif and Cerina (twins); Cenif is the wife of William WILLIAMS, Rockford Township, and Cerina of Newton MORELAND in the same township. L.G. JONES, the fifth child and youngest son in the above family was brought up to farm life. At age 21 years, he married Elizabeth MARTIN, June 18, 1863. She was the daughter of Raleigh and Elizabeth MARTIN, natives of Indiana, who removed to Adair Co, Missouri, and died there. They had seven children: French, who resides in Missouri; Nancy, wife of John SOUTH now residing in Lee Co, Iowa; Henry, deceased; George in Missouri; Elizabeth was the next; Lucinda, wife of James HEINLINE of Missouri; and Coleman, a resident of Council Bluffs, Iowa.
Mrs. Elizabeth JONES was born September 5, 1841 and was married at age 20. After his marriage, Mr Jones rented a farm and raised one crop, then came to Rockford Twp, remained one winter, and the next spring purchased a farm of 120 acres in Harrison County of land entirely unimproved, and remained upon it 4 years. Selling it, he purchased a saw mill which he successfully ran for 6 years; next he rented another farm one year, then bought 200 acres of wild, rough prairie, which he now occupies as a highly developed farm, all the improvements being his own design and execution. His house is a frame 26 X 28 feet and a story and a half in height, with verandas. He has also a fine barn and other out-buildings about two and a half acres of orchard, fine shade and ornamental trees On national questions, Mr. Jones is a well settled Democrat. His three children are: Elizabeth; Abigail now wife of O.L. LUCAS in Clay Center, Clay Co, Nebraska; she was born October 21, 1866; David Walter, born February 29, 1876, died seven weeks afterward; Melvin Curtice, born January 3, 1879.
LEWIS GREEN JONES, was born on August 8, 1841 in Green Castle, Indiana. He died at his home, four miles southwest of Loveland on Sunday, February 19. He came to Loveland with his parents, two sisters and two brothers in 1858. One June 18, 1863, he married Elizabeth Martin. Two children were born, a son and a daughter, and on the same farm Mr. Jones resided for over sixty years. His wife and both children preceded him in death; his eight grandchildren and eleven great grandchildren are left. His health had been failing for several months, but nothing could persuade him to leave the farm, which had been his for so many years. Funeral services were conducted from the house by Rev. J.Q. Jones of the Primitive Baptist Church. Music was furnished by Mrs. George Palmer and Mrs. Mack Fouts of the Methodist Church. Burial was in the Branson Cemetery.
