Newspaper Obituary - Wednesday, May 4, 1898 Pulaski Democrat - Pulaski, New York - Charles H. Jones, one of our best known and most respected citizens, died at his home in this town, April 28, 1898, after an illness of about three weeks. He was a son of Pleny H. Jones, one of the earlier settlers of the town of Richland, and was born in 1840 at the place of his death, the premises which had been his home in his boyhood and of which in his mature years he became the owner. At the opening of the Rebellion he was among the first to respond to the call for volunteers, enlisting in the fall of 1860 in Company K, 81st Regiment, New York Volunteer Infantry, from which he was honorably discharged in 1863 after a service of three years. In 1864 he married Vytie M. Brown who with his three sons, C. Edward Jones of Pulaski, New York, Frank E. Jones, of Bratford, Canada, and Claud H. Jones, Buffalo, New York, survive him. He had been all his life an industrious and energetic business man, owning, operating and managing successfully one of the largest farms in the town of Richland, and was expecting soon to retire from active business life and enjoy rest well earned by years of constant toil having just reached the goal to which all men look forward and which so few ever live to realize. In politics he was a republican and was always recognized as a very potent force in local political affairs. His genial hospitality, his sterling integrity and his blunt, unquestioned honesty had won for him a great number of true and loyal friends by whom he was highly esteemed and whose confidence he shared in the highest degree, a mute witness to this fact was the large gathering of friends and acquaintances from this and neighboring towns who with the members of Post Butler G. A. R. assembled at the funeral services at his late residence on Saturday afternoon, thus giving a silent testimonial to the sterling excellence and manly worth of their departed friend and associate.
