JONES, Receiver for the Huron Furnace Company, a son of Thomas Jones, was born in Meigs County, Ohio, in 1837, but with the exception of seven years spent in Brazil, Clay Co., Ind., has lived in Jackson County since 1838. He was educated in the common schools and at the Ohio University, Athens. He commenced work at stone-cutting when sixteen years of age, and when nineteen superintended the building of the Oak Ridge Furnace in Lawrence County, Ohio, and afterward the Zaleski Furnace in Vinton County. He subsequently repaired furnaces till 1864, when he became a contractor of stone-work, on the bridge of the M. & C. R. R. The following year he superintended the building of the Orange Furnace in Jackson. In the spring of 1867 he went to Clay County, Ind., and erected the Planet Furnace at Brazil, which he operated successfully till 1873. In 1868 he married Julia Harshbarger, of Virginia. In 1873 he removed to Jackson to take stock in and superintend the building of the Tropic Furnace (now Tropic Iron Company). He had the charge of this furnace till 1878 when he was induced to become a candidate for Sheriff of Jackson County on the Democratic ticket. Although that party was in the minority he was elected by a fair majority and served one term. In the summer of 1878 he became engaged in mineral operations but abandoned his connections during his term of office. In the spring of 1881 he became a stockholder and superintended the opening of the Alice Mine in Coal Township, which he managed till September, 1882, when he was appointed to his present position."
