OBITUARY.-AM AMonS those who, alter
the battle of Fredericksburg, were classi
fed in that list Of terrible uncertainties,
the missing, was RICHARD NJ. JONES, Of
Co. F, 133d Penna Vols. In the charge
Of his regiment on the Rebel breastworks,
lie vas seen to fall, and, although spoken
to by some of his companions, he failed to
return an answer. From this, and the
fact that over month has elapsed since
the fioht, we are forced to the sad conclu-
sion, much against our inclination, that
he is indeed missing for ever
more.
The deceased was born in Cambria tp.,
this county, and was about 30 years of
age when he fell. lie lived here until he
had attained to the full estate of manhood.
when he removed to Philadelphia. In
that city, he became engaged in mercan-
tile pursuits. Upon the inauguration Of
the Rebellion, he, in conjunction with the
lamented Major Todd, recruited compa-
ny, Of which he was elected Ist Lieutenant
He served with credit during their term
of eniistment-threem months; and return
lug to the city, again engaged in his usual
ayocatlon. During the past summer,
when on visit here to his home and
friends, he attached himself to Capt
Jones company. The sequel is known
He went forth-iie fought-he fell.
The deceased was most estmabe
young man. Educated aud intelligent
of a sprightly and impuisive disposition,
and gifted with a warm heart and u man
ly mind, he made many friends ana re-
tanned them. Throughout the county he
was widely known, and his loss will be
keenly lamcnted. He was member OF
the Presbyterian Church, and died i'll the
full hope Of blessed Immortality above
shortly before catering the fight, he re-
marked to companion: eff fall, say
to those at home that I was prepared To
die" A patriot and Christian--he is
gone! Gone in the eally bloom of uan-
hood, when l.ls aspirations Of usefulness
in the world were about being realized
Gone from his country, his home, and his
friends. But-happy thought such
men do not die; they only ''go before"
john VI. JONES, a member of Co T,
133d Penna. Vols, and brother of the
subject of the foregoing notice, was also
killed at the battle Of fredericksburg
He was an excellent young man, kind
hearted and generous, and favor;te with
all who knew him lie was a member of
the Welsh Independent Church, of this
place, and died as he had lived, a Chris
tian. His age was about p years. Green
be the turf above him.
Both the above fallen heroes were sons
of Mr. Morris ". Jones, resident four
miles north of town. lie and family and
friends have the sympathies Of the com
muuity in their great bereavement.
