JONES
Hi Wendy
The Infant Male Jones was first buried on 7-23-1892 in Section 9 Lot 370
under the title of Infant Jones and at a later date he was moved to
Section 9 Lot 322 under the title of Howard W. Jones.
I have placed a call to the health department for his date of death so it
may take a few days for an answer.

James M. Jewell, one of the highly esteemed residents of Middletown, is now living retired from business cares, having earned his present leisure by years of industry and the practice of thrift. He was born at Hamilton, Butler county, Ohio, in 1840, a son of John D. and Jane (Milner) Jewell, both of whom were natives of Hamilton. The paternal grandfather, Elijah Jewell came from Maryland to Butler county, Ohio, probably as early as 1796. Locating at Hamilton, he followed his trade as a millwright there until his death, which occurred in 1858. The maiden name of his wife was Lavina Whitehead, and she was brought to Cincinnati, Ohio, at an early day. Both she and her husband were devout members of the Methodist Episcopal church, and very active in it, assisting in founding that denomination at Hamilton. James M. Jewell was reared under the parental roof, and early taught the dignity of honest labor and the necessity to save money earned through industrious habits. He was given a better educational training than is afforded to some even in these days, and certainly fell to the lot of but few when he was young, as he was sent to Dayton, Ohio, to pursue his studies.
Completing them, he went to Maysville, Ky., and while living there
enlisted for service in the war between the states in Company I, Sixteenth
Kentucky Infantry, and was in the service for three years and some months,
after which he was honorably discharged. Returning home, Mr. Jewell became
a salesman for the Singer Sewing Machine company, and sold their product
over a wide territory for nineteen years, and during that period built up
an extensive acquaintance and made many warm personal friends. Leaving the
road Mr. Jewell then established himself in a grocery business at
Middletown, conducting it until 1916, when he retired, and since then he
has occupied his attention with looking into civic matters, and national
policies, being very well posted. In 1865, he was married to Miss Martha
Baggs (Biggs) of Montgomery county, Ohio,
born June 18, 1845, a daughter of Steven and Nancy (Mahoney) Baggs
(Biggs) of Greene county, Ohio. Mr. and Mrs.
Jewell have two children, namely: William and Charles, both of whom live
at Middletown. Mr. Jewell is a Republican, but has not sought to bring
himself before the public as an office seeker, nor has he cared to permit
the use of his name on the party ticket. His popularity has always been
great. Both he and Mrs. Jewell belong to the Methodist Episcopal church,
the same one his grandparents were instrumental in founding. His wife's
father lived to be 102 years of age, and when he died had never worn
glasses, and had enough of his own teeth to do away with the necessity of
false ones. Judging by the alertness and keen intelligence of Mr. Jewell,
he bids fair to attain to a ripe old age himself, and as each year adds
something to his store of knowledge, longevity on his part will be a
distinctive benefit to his community.

THE REV. ALEXANDER MEHARRY, D. D.
Although only a resident of Eaton a few years, the citizens of the place
feel themselves largely indebted to the minister of the Gospel whose name
stands at the head of this article. They have a high regard for his
character and cherish lovingly his memory.
It was principally through the energy and zeal of the Rev. Alexander
Meharry that the Methodist Episcopal society of Eaton secured their
beautiful house of worship, unrivaled by any in the State or in the
western country, except a very few in the large cities, and one of the
chief, if not the leading architectural ornament of the village.
As the agent who brought about
the existence of this superb church, and no less from the fact that the
last years of Mr. Meharry's life were spent in Eaton, and that he was laid
away to his final rest in Mound cemetery, the people of Eaton have a
peculiar interest in the "good old preacher," and it is fitting that there
should be preserved for them the record of the life which came to the
close of its earthly chapter in their midst.
Alexander Meharry was born in Adams county, Ohio, October 17, 1813, and
died in Eaton, November 10, 1878, in the sixty-fifth year of his age, and
the thirty seventh of his ministry. His father, Alexander Meharry, was
born in Ireland, August 5, 1763; married Jane Frances, May 7, 1794, and
soon afterward came to America; tarried four years in Pennsylvania, and
in 1798 emigrated to Adams county, Ohio. He possessed remarkable energy
and industry, and was a zealous Methodist. He was instantly killed by the
fall of a tree while returning from a camp meeting in 1813, and his wife
was left with a family of seven sons and one daughter to care for unaided.
The youngest of the children, the subject of this sketch, joined the
Methodist church at the age of fourteen. He was reared on a farm, with
only pioneer school advantages.
The first eight years of his majority were spent in a store at Ripley,
Ohio, where he made such a reputation for integrity that he obtained the
loan of one thousand five hundred dollars on no other security than his
individual note. In September, 1841, he joined the Ohio conference as an
itinerant preacher, and subsequently rode the circuits of Blendon,
Bainbridge, Dunbarton, Deer Creek, and Frankfort, in Ohio, and Maysville
in Kentucky. In September, 1848, he became the first Methodist city
missionary in Cincinnati, and stood heroically at his post during the
ravages of cholera in 1849-50- In September, 1850, he was appointed
financial agent of the Ohio Wesleyan University at Delaware, and with the
exception of one year gratuitously given as agent to the Springfield
Female college, served six years. In September, 1857, he became pastor at
Franklin, Ohio, where in two years he built a church edifice, besides
liquidating some debts. In 1859 he took charge of the church in
Middletown, and in 1861 became pastor of Finley chapel in Cincinnati, and
was among the first of the clergymen who advocated the employment of
colored troops in the Union war.
From 1863 to 1866 he was stationed at Wilmington, where he erected a
church edifice. He then became agent of the Wesleyan Female college at
Cincinnati. The old building on Vine street had been sold for debt, and a
new structure would be erected. He succeeded, although many obstacles
opposed, in securing the erection of the present building, which is an
ornament to the city and a monument to Methodism. In the fall of 1868 he
became pastor at Eaton, and remained three years, within which time the
present house of worship was built. In 1871 he was appointed presiding
elder of the Ripley district, and in 1872 transferred to the Springfield
district. In 1875 he settled in Eaton. In 1877 the Athens Wesleyan
university, of Tennessee, conferred upon him the degree of doctor of
divinity. In 1878 he was appointed financial agent of the Delaware
Wesleyan university. During a service of thirty-seven years he travelled
nearly forty-five thousand miles, received into church connection over
three thousand persons, and raised as agent for colleges and churches over
one hundred thousand dollars. Since 11874 he had held superannuated

Governor Worthington, of Ohio.
