Jabish Jones of Geneva township died last Wednesday in the 90th year of his age, he being 89 last November. He was born in West Virginia, and had been a resident of Franklin county for over 25 years, and was always in good health until during the past year. We have known him to walk from his residence at Four Mile Grove to Hampton and back frequently within the past dozen years. He leaves a son who is 68 or 69 years of age, grandchildren in middle life, and great grandchildren grown up. He was a soldier in the war of 1812, and drew a pension therefor, and was always known as an honest, peaceable and quiet citizen.
