- Samuel Edward Jones
Samuel Edward Jones, the son of George H. Jones and Mariah Jones, nee Tipton, was born in Putnam County, Missouri on January 27, 1877, and passed away in the same county on March 23, 1947, being 70 years, 1 month and 26 days of age at the time of his death.
On November 14, 1898, he was united in marriage to Minnie C. Moore. To this union were born two sons, John Delbert Jones of Phoenix, Arizona and Dallas Berdett Jones of Lucerne, Missouri, now stationed in Hamilton Field, California, serving with the United States Army.
Sam, as he was generally known by all, lived in this community most all his life and numbered his friends by his acquaintances. On June 30, 1898 he petitioned Putnam Lodge No.190 A.F. & A.M., of Newtown, Missouri for the degrees of Free-Masonry. He was accepted and on August 13, 1898 initiated into the mysteries of free-Masonry, passed October 29, 1898 and raised to the Sublime degree of Master Mason on March 25, 1899, and since that date has continuously remained a member of Putnam Lodge No.190 in good standing.
On March 28, 1947, the Masonic funeral rites were given for Putnam Lodge No.190 by T. Howard Judd, acting Master and Rev. Bro. Hugh M. Harmon, acting Chaplin at the Baptist church in Newtown, Missouri after which his remains were laid to rest by the side of his mother in the Newtown cemetery.
The clock of life is wound but one
And no man has the power
To tell just when the hands will stop
At late or early hours
Now is the only time we own -
Live, love, toil with a will!
Place no faith in tomorrow for
The clock may then be still.
