Uriah C. Jones, M.D., one of the leading physicians of Carroll County, and one of the pioneer physicians of Breda, was born in Clinton County, Indiana, in the year 1842. In 1852 he removed to Poweshiek County, Iowa, with his father, who was one of the early settlers of that county, where he still lives. The father being a mechanic our subject was reared to mechanical pursuits. From boyhood he had in view the profession of medicine and in early life pursued such studies as would best lay the foundation of that profession. He began the study of medicine under the preceptorship of his brother, Dr. N. Jasper Jones, and attended his first course of lectures at the medical department of the Iowa State University, at Iowa City. Later he attended the Iowa College of Physicians and Surgeons at Des Moines, from which institution he graduated in the spring of 1885. For his wife the doctor married Miss Emma Holmes, a daughter of John Holmes, of Poweshiek County. They are the parents of six children—Ida and Bell (twins), Laura, Charles, Lottie and Ray. Dr. Jones located at Breda, Carroll County, in the spring of 1881, and is at present the only physician of the place, although several others have practiced here for a short time. He is thoroughly educated in his profession, for which he seems to possess a natural adaptation, and during his residence at Breda has built up an extensive practice. He now holds the positon of president of the board of examining surgeons for pensions. The doctor has a pleasant home at Breda, where good taste and refinement are everywhere indicated.
