Notes for Jackson Campbell JONES
CASS COUNTY DEMOCRAT,
HARRISON1ILLE, CASS COUNTY, MISSOURI, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1918.
JACKSON CAMPBELL JONES. 1842-1918.
Though not altogether unexpected by those who knew the nature of his Illness, the
sudden death of Jackson Campbell Jones at his home on West Washington Street, Wednesday afternoon, February 27, 1918, at 2:15 o'clock, came as a shock to the community. He had been confined to his bed only a week. However, he had been In feeble health for more than two years. During this time there was a gradual thickening and hardening of the walls of the arteries which was fast over-taxing the strength of the heart. Thus In this insiduous manner arterio-sclerosis was hastening the inevitable end. He was not aware of the seriousness of his condition. Frequently he made mention of his approaching demise to those who lingered about his bed. His passing was like his living had been thru more than three-score and ten years quiet, peaceful, serene.
Mr. Jones was the second child in a family of nine children. He first saw the light of day on March 9, 1842, near Wellsburg, W. Va. While yet a boy in his teens he came with his parents west in the year 1857. The family stopped at Westport Landing, remaining there about a year. In 1858 they came to Cass county, locating 3 1-2 miles northeast of Harrisonville. Here on a busy farm he grew to manhood.
When the Civil War broke out he enlisted In the Union Army. He was made corporal in Co. B., First Regiment. Missouri State Militia Cavalry. He fought in the Price Raid which fell upon Cass and Jackson counties. Perhaps the most notable single engagement in which he participated was the bloody battle of Lone Jack. At the close of the bitter strife he was mustered out of service at St. Louis. Immediately he returned to Harrisonville, and entered upon the quiet business life which was to be lived out uninterrupted in the community of his adopted home.
In the year 1866 he became a happy husband The young lady whose heart and hand he won was Miss Agnes Lemostrus Boggs of Harrisonville. The date of the wedding was November 11. The beautiful words which linked their hearts in holy wedlock were spoken by the Rev. W. M. Demon. Only one child was born to this union-Anna Deane.
She lived just eight months. For over half a century this congenial couple walked the way of life together. They were happy years. But to them they seemed all too brief. During this period of home-making they found In each other's fellowship that joy and blessing vouchsafed to true and loyal com-companions.
Besides his lonely companion Mr. Jones leaves behind In passing two brothers and two sisters, they are: John B. Jones of Freeman, and James C. Jones of Denver, Colo.; Mrs. Emma Chaney of Denver. Colo., and Mrs. James N. Simpson of Harrisonville. He is survived by several nieces and nephews. Also, there remain behind to mourn his loss a large number of other relatives and friends.
Brother Jones was a member of the First Baptist Church of Harrisonville. He was converted during a revival meeting held at the church In the year 1888. On March 25 of that same year be was baptized by the Rev. H. E. Foster, pastor of the church at that time. His Christian life was quiet, but sincere. He possessed a retiring disposition. His home wag to him a place of happiness and rest. He was reserved always in his attitude toward his associates. His acquaintance was not broad for the years he had spent In Harrisonville, but the friends he made were staunch and steadfast in loyalty to him. And he was true to his friends. His love for serene living is revealed In the fact that practically the whole of his life was spent In the same community. His present place of residence in Harrisonville he had occupied for a period of 32 consecutive years. He will be greatly missed from the streets of our city, and in the home, but his placid countenance will live in the hearts of those who knew him, and they will remember him with pleasure and gratitude.
Funeral services will be conducted by his pastor, the Rev. Geo. C. Monroe, on Friday afternoon, March 1, at 2 o'clock, at the First Baptist Church. Burial will be made in the Orient Cemetery.
