Charles Jones was born in Tunbridge in
1887, had the usual liberties granted to an
only child. and his youthful days were
spent in 'sthe little red school house on the
hil.' and in dispensing to the inner wants
of his fathers hungry and thirsty guests,
and the congenial work of tending the
horses. He was two years at Woodward's
Hotel at South RoyaltOn. Then he clerk

getting $50 the first year. and the last year

as recruiting officer with j. G. Stearns for

Bradford in which he has not worked,

has performed great amount of work in
adjoining towns often employing several
men. He has also owned and managed
farm in Vershire that he has recently sold.
He has always taken an active interest in
every movement designed to promote the
moral and material welfare of Bradford.
At the reorganization of the fire depart
