19, 1868, and is a son of David A. and Cecelia (Armstrong) Jones, natives of
Wales. The parents immigrated to Johnstown, Penn., about thirty-six years
ago, and a few years afterward removed to Ohio, thence to the vicinity of
Mercer, Penn., in 1868. They resided in this county several years, and then
removed to Coalburg, Ohio, where the mother died in December, 1879, and where
the father is still living. Dr. Jones grew up under the parental roof, and
began reading medicine in 1880. He attended lectures at the College of
Physicians and Surgeons, Baltimore, Md., and was graduated in March, 1886. He

is now in his second term as county physician of Sharon. Dr. Jones was
