Death of Mr. J. H. Jones.

In the death of Mr. J. H. Jones, which occurred at his home three 
miles south of this city last Saturday morning, after an illness of 
several weeks, Anderson County loses another upright, worthy citizen, 
who was well-known and highly esteemed throughout the County, and 
whose memory will long be cherished by his many friends.  Mr. Jones 
was a native of Greenville County and was in the 72nd year of his age.
When about 20 years of age he moved to Anderson County, and later 
married Miss Louisa Dean, a daughter of the late Moses Dean.  Since 
that time he has made this County his home, and served two terms as a 
member of the old Board of County Commissioners.  He has recently 
served on the Board as Township Commissioner and was a member of the 
Building Committee of our new Court House.  Mr. Jones served his 
country in the civil war in the Hampton Legion.  He had long been a 
devoted member of the Baptist Church, and has gone to reap the rewards
of a well spent life.  His remains were interred at Flat Rock Church 
last Sunday afternoon, the funeral services being conducted by Rev. 
Wm. Brown and Rev. J. B. Herron, in the presence of a very large 
congregation of friends and relatives.  A widow and six children 
survive him.
