JONES,--Rev. John Jones died at his home at Constableville, Lewis Co., New York, November 13, 1881, aged 86 years. Brother Jones was born in Wales in 1795. At the age of eighteen years he gave his heart to God and joined the Methodist Episcopal Church. He soon received an Exhorter's license, and at the age of twenty-three he was Licensed to Preach. Some time between the ages of twenty-three and thirty-four (the exact time is not known) he was ordained Local Deacon. In 1829 he came to this country, settling in Lewis Co., New York, devoting his time principally to farming during the week and preaching on the Sabbath wherever he had opportunity. In 1843 he was ordained Local Elder by Bishop Beverly Waugh, at Syracuse, New York. He never connected himself with any conference, choosing rather to do good wherever opportunity presented itself in the local work, yet devoting much of his time to the ministry. His thoughts were deep, systematic and logical, and none could listen without being instructed and inspired. For the last few years he was waiting for the Master to call him home. His mind, like his body, continued measurably active until near the end. Without any apparent disease he gradually faded like an autumn leaf.
