Our community was much shocked to
learn of the death of Wells p. Jones of
Brattleboro which occurred last Sunday.
Mr.. Jones was well and favorably known
in this community, having lived here
some IL years, when he was in company
with his father-in-law, the late Norris
p. Stetson, in the mercantile business
Mr.. Jones represented the town in the
legislature of 1916 and 1S7S-SO and
twice served as a member of the Re-
publican county committee. He was a
mason in Unity lodge, held it's important
offices, and continued member until
his death. He was one of the original
members of Vermont lodge, No. S19, X
of H., serving as dictator of the lodge
and as grand dictator of the grand lodge,
and delegate to the supreme lodge which
met in Galveston, Texas. He continued
his membership in Vermont lodge. His
children were born here. Much sympathy
is expressed for the bereaYed family.
