BLESSED BY WASHINGTON.
a Man with a History Dies at the
Age of Ninety-FiYe Years.


AJ10o'clock yesterday morning Charles
Jones died at 1913 New York avenue, of
old age. He was over - wears old.
having been born in New York on
June 4, 1871. AS might be expected, he
had an interesting history. lis grand
father, a Welsh clergyman hormigrated
20 this country some TWO centuries ago,
brought with him his entire pArish-men
women and children. His father
was personal friend OF Gen. Wash
ington, and Mr.. Jones often related
that upon one occasion, when he was
about 10 years Old while Washington was
at his fathers mouse, the Father OF his
Country placed both hands upon bis
shoulders and gave him a blessing. In
later lie Mr.. Jones heard Aaron Burr and
Hamilton speak az political m-uuugs in
New York city. When they fought
their famous duel his father.
DR.. Jones, who was Hamilton s
family physician, was asked To be
the surgeon for the famous federalist, but
declined, owing TO h,s opposition to duel
ing. Mr. Jones knew Jefferson, and in
modern times enjoyed the acquaintance OF
many prominent men. His mind re-
manned unclouded TO the last.
The deceased came TO Washington
about month ago. his visit being the
first in seventy-tour years. On the oc-
casion OF his previous trip he was the
gnest for week Of President and Mrs.
Madison at the White House, and when
he returned after an absence of three
quarters Of a century he was greatly inn
pressed with the Change, which time had
made. Despite MS extreme age, he was
hale and strong, and after riding TO the
capitol in street car, made his way
through the building with simply n cane
to aid him. He came 10 Washington TO
visit his daughter, Mrs. Cuthbert, who
for twenty years WAS principal OF "A IA
nous school IN st. Loais, and who is now
associated with Mrs. SOmers.
