Mr. Jones is as active as most men at 70, and bids fair to live ten years. He is the founder of Griggsville, having come here from his Massachusetts home in 1830. His sons occupy prominent places in Illinois politics, Hon. Geo. W. Jones being Appellate Clerk at Springfield. The sons are rampant Democrats while th eold gentleman is just as strong a Republican.
