Jones, Addison d 1864

DIED--February 22d, 1864, in the city of New-York, Mr. ADDISON JONES, in the 26th year of his age.

The subject of this notice commenced his studies at Jefferson College in 1853. After finishing his collegiate course, he entered the Westtern{sic} Theological Seminary, at Allegheny, where he would have prepared himself for the ministry, had not ill-health and other causes prevented. Mr. Jones was a young man of excellent moral character, of consistent Christian deportment, and of genius in many respects above an ordinary grade. He possessed originalities (peculiarly his own,) which would often show themselves in sparklings of wit quite above the usual order. He was passionately fond of literary composition, and while engaged in this pursuit, disease of the heart seized upon him and made him the victim of its sudden stroke. He died a Christian. "Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord." ---J. M. S.
