He prepared for college at the high school of Dover, N. H., where his home then was. He took the course of the Chandler Scientific Department. From graduation until March, 1894, he was employed as civil and mechanical engineer by D. H. and A. B. Tower of Holyoke, Mass. He then entered the Niagara Falls Power Company as assistant engineer in charge of construction, and remained with them until 1900, rising to the position of first assistant engineer. At the latter date he became chief engineer for the Niagara Falis Hydraulic Power and Manufacturing Company. Then the work of constructing the power plants on the Canadian side of the river began, and in 1901 he entered the employ of Dawson and Reilly, taking charge of the Canadian-Niagara wheelpit construction. When the wheelpit was completed he joined Mayor Douglass, who had the contract for the Canadian-Niagara tunnel. While at work on the tunnel he contracted the disease which finally caused his death. His last work was on the Delaware, Lackawanna, and Western Railroad tunnel at Jersey City, with which Mr. Douglass was connected. Af- ter this was completed, in the spring of 1908, Mr. Jones went to California for his health, and later to the Adirondacks, but finally returned without improvement to Niagara Falls.
