Jones, one of Madison county's most esteemed citizens, died last Sunday at his home near Sheridan after a lingering illness, at the ripe old age of 74 years. Mr. Jones was born in Wales, on January 15, 1836. He came to Montana 43 years ago and took up a ranch on the banks of the Ruby river near Sheridan. During the war of the rebellion he enlisted in the 2nd Colorado cavalry on Oct. 10, 1861. He was mustered out on Dec. 15, 1864, having served his country for 3 years and 2 months. He was a Past Post Commander of Custer Post No. 5, G A R at Sheridan, the members of which join the many friends in the sympathy to the bereaved family. The funeral was held Tuesday afternoon and was largely attended. ~~ 'Pioneer Trails and Trials,' 1976, Madison County History Association, page 490-1 (excerpts): "Evan J. and Margaret Ellen Jones were one of the early pioneer families in Madison County, arriving in Virginia City on April 29, 1870. Evan Jones was born in Cardiff County, South Wales on January 15, 1836. At the age of 6 he came to America with his parents on July 20, 1842. The family located in Pennsylvania and later moved to Wisconsin, where Evan grew to manhood. On November 10, 1861, he enlisted in Company A, Second Regiment, Colorado Volunteer Cavalry. He served three years in the Civil War, receiving an honorable discharge December 21, 1864 at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas." "After arriving in Virginia City, Evan became a freighter, hauling groceries, dry goods and coal oil between Virginia City and Bannack. While he was gone on freighting trips from three to six weeks at a time, Margaret would be alone with her small children. A few years later Evan gave up freighting, as there were others starting to haul freight and there wasn't enough business for all of them. The family moved to a farm in the Ruby Valley near Sheridan, where they lived and raised their family until Evan's death from a paralytic stroke, at the age of 74, on January 8, 1911."
