Dr. John Wesley Jones

Frisco Herald - 8 Jan 1891

 
Dr. J. Wesley Jones died at the residence of his son-in-law, Mr. Graham, (Samuel) on Saturday night and was buried on Mr. Graham's claim on Monday by the G. A. R. Post. (Moved to Frisco).
 
Dr. Jones was one of the best-known as well as one of the most skillful physicians and surgeons in this part of the country.  He was for a number of years a surgeon in the United States Army and had only a few weeks before his death been granted a pension of about four thousand dollars.  Besides being a thorough master of medicine, he was a well informed man upon all subjects.  He was afflicted with an incurable disease and this led him to excesses and despondency that may have hastened his death.  He leaves no relatives that we know of except Mrs. Graham, his daughter, (Belle) who will inherit his farm and other property.
 
Additional Info:  Dr. Jones Homesteaded the NE 1/4 of Sec 32 Twp 13 Rg 5.  One the 1890 census he was age 54 born in Virginia.
