Prior T. Jones

PRIOR TANNER JONES, formerly infirmary director, now a retired farmer, residing on a comfortable little place of four acres at Canfield, owns a valuable farm of 200 acres in Canfield township, located on the Erie Railroad, one mile west of the village.  Mr. Jones was born in Ellsworth township, Mahoning County, Ohio, June 11, 1836, and is a son of James and Huldah (Tanner) Jones.
    
The paternal grandparents of Mr. Jones were Thomas and Sarah Jones, who came with two children to Ellsworth township, Mahoning County, from their home in Maryland, in 1804.  They settled on the line between Ellsworth and Canfield townships, when but three other families had founded homes in Ellsworth.  Their first log cabin had neither doors nor windows and in their wide fireplace they burned timbers which now would be worth many dollars.  Although these early settlers bore many hardships, they reared a family of ten children and both lived to be over 90 years of age.  James, the father of Mr. Jones, was the fourth member of the above family, his older brother, Thomas, having been the first white child born in Ellsworth township.
     James Jones was born Nov. 14, 1807, in Ellsworth township, Mahoning County, Ohio, and when he grew old enough assisted in the clearing of the large body of land his father had acquired.  He married Huldah Tanner, who was born at Canfield, in 1812, and who was a daughter of Edmund Prior and Fannie (Chapman) Tanner, who came to Ohio from Connecticut in 1802.  James Jones and wife continued to live in Ellsworth township until 1852, when he sold his farm there and bought 120 acres in Canfield township, from Myron Sacket, to which he subsequently added until he owned 200 acres.  He died in Canfield township, in November, 1870, and was survived by his widow until Dec. 16, 1898.  James Jones was one of the leading men of his day in Canfield township.  He was a pronounced free Soil man and on the formation of the Republican party became thoroughly identified with it.  He was appointed one of the first three infirmary directors of Mahoning County, and served on that board from October, 1855, until 1863.  There were four children born to James and Huldah Jones, namely: William, who died in 1858; Prior T.; Fannie, who married James Turner and died in 1886; and Laura who is the widow of Fred Beardsley.
     Prior Tanner Jones
attended school for a short time in his boyhood, in Ellsworth township, and then spent a year in an academy in Connecticut.  This was followed by a few terms in the Canfield Academy.  He then taught school for two winters in Austintown township, one winter in Canfield township and one in Jackson township, after which he returned to his father's farm in Canfield township.  He remained on the home place engaged in general farming and dairying, until 1900, when he bought his present residence on North Broad street, Canfield, a commodious thirteen-room house, surrounded by four acres of land.  It was formerly the property of Mrs. Hannah Calvin.
    
On Aug. 22, 1860, Mr. Jones was married to Ruth Ellen Bond, who was born at Edinburgh, Portage County, Ohio, Oct. 17, 1838, and is a daughter of Jonas and Eliza (Story) Bond.  Mr. and Mrs. Bond had six children, namely: Frederick, deceased; Eliza, deceased, who married Dr. James Carr; Lester L., deceased; Emma, deceased, who married Homer Norton, also deceased; Mary, the widow of Eli Ruggles, who married first Ephraim Norton; and Ruth Ellen.  The latter came to Canfield when 17 years of age, attended the old academy and later taught school at Canfield and also in Portage County.  The father of Mrs. Jones died in 1878, aged 81 years, and the mother in 1884, aged 84 years.
     Mr. and Mrs. Jones have had four children, namely: Lester L., Harry, James and Amy.  Lester L., residing at Chicago, Illinois, where he occupies the responsible office of managing editor of the Chicago Journal, married Evelyn Emory and they have one child, Laura Harry Jones who died in Chicago Jan. 15, 1891, at the age of 27 years, had been admitted to the bar in that city and was a young man of great ability.  James Jones, residing at home, is a teacher of music.
     Mr. Jones has always been affiliated with the Republican party.  In 1891 he was elected infirmary director and served two terms, from 1891 to 1897.  He has in his possession a little old yellow ledger which he inherited from his father, who had kept the first infirmary records of Mahoning County in it.  Mr. Jones remembers how he, when a young man, assisted Superintendent James Shields to haul away the logs and heavy timber that was in front of the institution at that time.  Mr. Jones and his family belong to the Methodist Episcopal Church.
