Read More	His wife was Charlotte Miles Jones (b~1826 NY) From the 1911 book Past and Present of Hardin County Iowa, page 800: Emlous and Charlotte (Miles) Jones - The former was born in Geauga county, Ohio, and when a young man lived both in Cleveland and Dayton. The mother was horn near Syracuse, New York, and was the daughter of William Miles, her parents moving to St. Joseph county, Michigan, when she was three years old and there she grew to maturity and lived until her marriage. Mr. and Mrs. Emlous Jones not long after their marriage moved to Lee county, Illinois, and there made their home until 1856, then came to Hardin county, Iowa, and entered land from the government in section 26, Tipton township, for which they paid one dollar and twenty-five cents per acre. Their only neighbor for miles was John Caton. Theirs was new timbered land, with a little prairie. They cleared the land of the timber, began life in typical pioneer fashion and in due course of time had a good farm and a comfortable home. They made the overland journey from Illinois in an old-fashioned wagon, drawn by a yoke of oxen, behind which three cows and a horse were led, these constituting practically the sum total of their worldly goods. Upon arrival they built a log house in the timber near where the present home stands. The necessities of life were few in those days and there was no style. The elder Jones hauled his wheat to market at Waterloo in a wagon drawn by two yoke of cattle, the trip requiring a week. Later their mail came to Quebec, northwest of Providence; however, this was not a regular postoffice, but the mail was brought from a considerable distance by special arrangement. This country was still the abode of numerous Indians, who were none too friendly, -- in fact, the white settlers feared them. Prairie and timber wolves were plentiful, some deer and other wild game, and prairie chickens and prairie dogs were in abundance. Here Emlous Jones spent the balance of his life, dying in 1881; his widow, now advanced in years, makes her home with her son, Prescott, of this review. It is indeed interesting to hear her relate reminiscences of the early days. She is a faithful member of the Methodist church, as was also Mr. Jones. Ten children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Emlous Jones, four of whom are living, four having died in infancy: Emma died when about eight years of age and Evan died when about five years old; those living are Albert, who lives near Buckeye, is married and has a family; he is engaged in farming; Prescott, who lives on the home place in Tipton township; Mina also lives on the home place; Martha is the wife of George W. Smith, whose sketch appears in this work; Alice is the wife of A. J. King and lives at Lake Park.
