JONES, HON. WM. P. -Born on a farm named Cefn, at

Llanwrthwl, Breconshire, Wales, July 15, 1828.  Son of Wil-

liam and Margaret Jones.  His father was originally from

Montgomeryshire, while his mother was a native of Breconshire.

Soon after the subject of this sketch was born his parents

moved to Troedrhiwdrain, Radnorshire, where they resided

eight years and removed to Cwmystwyth, Cardiganshire.

Leaving the dear though humble parental roof young Jones

first sought his fortune in the coal mines of Tredegar,

Monmouthshire.  In the spring of 1849 he emigrated to America,

settling first at Utica, N. Y., whence in the spring

of 1852 he removed to Jackson county, Ohio.  Here he assisted

in building the first railway through the county from Ports-

mouth, having charge of the blasting in the deep rocky cuts.

He afterwards helped to establish the Jefferson Iron furnace

and was one of the original stockholders.  July 3, 1852, be

Married Miss Margaret, daughter of John and Usulla Wal-

ters, then of Jackson county, O., but afterwards of Cambria,

Minn.  In May, 1856, Mr. Jones moved with his family to

Blue Farth county, Minn., arriving there about the last of

May.  Early in June of the same year he located on the farm

still owned by him in Cambria, Minn.  In 1892, he retired

from his farm to Lake Crystal where be owns a comfortable

home.  By dint of industry, economy and wise management

he and his good wife have gone through all the visisitudes of

pioneer life, have raised a large family of children, each and

all of whom are useful and honored members of the commun-

ities wherein they dwell.  But while caring so well for his

personal affairs Mr. Jones did not neglect the affairs of church

and state, but took a most active interest in both.  One of

the founders of Horeb church, in Cambria, Minn., and during,

his residence there, one of its principal pillars, he was faithful

as an elder, leader of song, and member. . He has also

taken an active part in political matters and during his resi-

dence in Cambria held a number of town offices, and in 1876

was elected to the State Legislature.
