FRED M. JONES, WELL KNOWN FORMER LIVERYMAN, IS DEAD
Was Sturdy Character and a Notable Figure in Elmira's Business World
He Was Prominent in Progressive Party.
After an illness extending over a period of more than a year, Fred M. Jones, well-known Elmira horseman and business man, died at his home, 410 William street, at 10:30 o'clock last night. In his death, the city loses one of its most active business men, and a character known and esteemed for sturdy uprightness and independence of spirit.
It was a little more than 34 years ago when Fred Jones, then a young man, country bred, good judge and a great lover of horses, started a livery stable on East Market street, where the present Carpenter stables are located, next to he [the] fire department. In those days horse dealing and the livery business was about on the plans of the present day successful garage. Some year later, the Jones livery was moved to Carroll street between Lake and Fox streets, not the O'Dea taxi-cab and livery establishment.
With positive opinion of his own, the judgment of Fred Jones was frequently sought by his friends upon all sorts of subjects, and during his later years, notable since about 1908, he became identified with the Progressive wing of the Republican party. He was elected treasurer of the Chemung county organization of that party in 1912, when Roosevelt was the third party candidate.
During his early years, Fred M. Jones joined the old 30th Separate Company serving in the of 18848 [1888?] 1889. He was also a member of the Exempt Firemen's association. He was a member of Lodge, 62, B. P. O. E.
There survive him, beside his widow, a daughter, Miss Getrude; one son, Dr. Floyd Jones; three brothers, Frank T. of Seeley Creek, Grant H. and Matthew C., of New York City.
