His education was received in the public schools of Dow City. In 1894, he moved with his parents to Charter Oak, where he accepted a position in the store of C. Schurke. "Pitt," as he was commonly called, was a man of many friends, was always good natured, a hard worker and a man square in all of his dealings. He was not an aggressive salesman, but a man who attracted trade, which made him one of the best salesmen in the town. He was very fond of music and was a member of the Charter Oak band and orchestra for many years. In the earlier history of the town, the presence of a band was due largely through his untiring efforts. Mr. Jones was united in marriage to Mathilda Schurke at Charter Oak, Iowa, on November 1st, 1899. To this union was born four children, namely: Violet Mae, Melvin Lyman, Romantus Carl and Wallace Emil, (deceased). Four years ago, the family moved to Ankeny, Iowa, where he was engaged in the mercantile business until his health failed two years ago. Following a severe attack of pneumonia, he developed tuberculosis from which he was unable to secure relief. When it was found that his illness was of a serious nature, he went to Colorado, remaining there with his sister for about a year, later returning to Ankeny, Iowa. About a year ago, he came to Denison, where he remained until the time of his death. He was a faithful member of the Methodist Episcopal church at Ankeny, Iowa, and was also a member of A.O.U.W. Lodge No. 3 at Des Moines. He leaves to mourn the loss of a loving husband and father, his devoted wife and three children, his mother, Mrs. Harriett Jones of Hudson, Colo.

Schouten of Hudson, Colo. And Mrs. B. L. Wright of Armour, South Dakota. The funeral services were held at the home of Mr. And Mrs. L. B. Romans on Friday, April 7 at 2:30 o'clock p. m. with the Rev. Watson, pastor of the Methodist church of Ankeny officiating, assisted by Rev. M. M. Cable, pastor of the local Methodist church.
