Read More	Mayor of Holton, Kansas for one year (1884) the following obituary abstracts are from Selected Death Notices From Jackson County, Kansas Newspapers, Vol. IV; compiled by Dan Fenton: The Holton Recorder July 14, 1898 Edward F. Jones was born near Elmyra, New York, May 6, 1838. In 1852 he moved with his parents to Iowa and settled in Linn county, where he grew up to manhood, and where, August 1, 1861, he enlisted as a Union soldier in the 2d Iowa cavalry, for three years or during the war. When the term of his enlistment expired in 1864, he re- enlisted as a veteran and served until October, 1865, when he received an honorable discharge, and returned to civil pursuits. In 1864, probably while he was home on a veteran furlough, he was married to Miss Sarah A. Pollock, who died, we believe, in the early seventies, leaving him with five children, two of whom, Lillie and Addie, have since died. In 1880, he married to Miss Salina Roby, who with one son, Paul, survives him. When Mr. Jones first come to Jackson county he purchased a farm some three or four miles south of Holton on which he lived, we think, three or four years. These were not good years for the farmers in Kansas, as both drought and grasshoppers scourged the country and he concluded to sell his farm and try his fortune as a citizen of Holton. He had taught school some, and his knowledge of school matters led him into the business of selling school furniture, in which he was moderately successful. In 1880, the death of Sheriff Niswander created a vacancy in that office, and after quite a spirited contest Mr. Jones received the appointment at the hands of Governor John P. St. John. That fall he received the Republican nomination and was elected over Wm. Hedges of Whiting. A year later he was re-elected and served out the full. He made a model sheriff, and if the law had permitted another term he would have been chosen triumphantly. After turning the office of sheriff over to his successor he was elected justice of the peace, in connection with which office he ran a collection agency until 1889, when he was appointed postmaster. He served in this position for five years until the appointment of T. A. Fairchild in 1894. In addition to these offices, Mr. Jones has has efficiently served the city at different times as mayor, councilman, and assessor .... Some fifteen years ago he joined the Methodist church .... Frank and Paul are the two sons and Mrs. Lutie Riley and Miss Matie are the two daughters who mourn the loss of their father. In addition to the above, the deceased leaves three brothers, C. L. and F. A., of Bristow, Iowa, and H. E., of Elmyra, New York. These three, with the deceased, were all members of the same company and regiment during the war, and many of our citizens will well remember a few years ago when Ed. F., H. E. and F. A. attended a reunion held in this city, and how we were all entertained by the trio .... was a prominent member of the A.F.&A.M., the G.A.R., the Modern Woodsman and the Knights of the fireside .... The Holton Weekly Signal July 13, 1898 .... Company I, 2"d Iowa Cavalry .... In 1864 he was married to Miss Sarah Pollack, who died in 1879, leaving him with five children, Addie, who died in 1897, Lillie, who died in 1890, Lutie, now Mrs. Geo. F. Riley, Mattie and Frank. In 1873, Mr. Jones came to Jackson county, Kansas, living in Holton for a short time and then settling on a farm four miles south on the eastern edge of the Pottawatomie reserve. It was from his location in this neighborhood that he derived the name of "Pottawatomie Jones," which stuck to him throughout the balance of his life....
