Edwin Arthur Jones died very suddenly of heart disease at Stoughton, Mass., Jan. 9. He was born in Stoughton,. June 28, 1853, being one of two sons of Henry and Mary (Swan) Jones, and prepared for college at the local high school. He had given much attention to music before entering college, and was organist for church and chapel throughout his course, leader of the college orchestra, and of the Glee Club. He was a member of Delta Kappa Epsilon and Phi Beta Kappa. Except during the first two years after graduation, when he was in business with his father in the city of Baltimore, Mr. Jones has resided in his native town, and has devoted himself to music, as teacher, orchestra leader, choir director, and composer. In his calling he has been eminently successful in all its branches, arid has won a high position as a musical composer and as a performer upon the organ and violin. The local newspaper adds: "As a public citizen no call was ever made on him from his native town that went unheeded. He loved the old town of Stoughton with a devotion that drew from him sacrifices of labor that few men have opportunity, the talent, or the ability, to give. In the social affairs of the town he was the prominent one to whom all turned when occasion called for service. He was president of the Fortnightly Club, a trustee of the public library, the secretary of the Chicataubut Club, and served on various important committees of the town on special occasions. He was a prominent and active member of the Stoughton Board of Trade. For years he was the leading spirit of the Old Stoughton Musical Society. He was interested in historical matters, and was an active member of the Stoughton Historical Society and its president. He gave of his time, his money, and his efforts for countless local enterprises and town movements. As a man he was quiet, unassuming, self-contained, never boastful or self-assertive, but with a rare faculty for doing things and attaining results." It should also be said that he was for many years a member of the town school committee, and that in 1908 he was a delegate from the American Peace Society to the International Peace Congress in London. He was married June 20, 1894, to Harriet Matilda Capen of Stoughton, who survives him. They have had no children.
