ALBERT T. JONES, carpenter, South Lebanon, was born in Massachusetts in the year 1829; he is a son of Benjamin Jones, a native of the same State. The early life of our subject was passed on the farm, and he received only a limited education in the district schools. At the age of 16, he began learning his trade, by working on cotton machinery, to which particular work he gave his attention and time for two years, after which, on account of failing health, he went at house building, which he followed while he remained in his native State. In 1860, he located in Hamilton Co., Ohio, in which he resided two years. In 1861, he was married to Minerva Thompson, of the same county. In 1862, he located in Warren Co., since which time carpentering has been his principal business. Being a maser workman, and one of the best in the county, he received a liberal share of the work in his line. To Mr. and Mrs. Jones three sons have been born, viz.: George W., Alvin M. and Edson M. He owns a good property in the village of South Lebanon, which makes him a comfortable and pleasant home.
