Howard Jones was reared at Circleville from infancy, his parents locating here when he was less than a year old. He was reared and educated here, graduating from the Circleville High School in 1870, when he was entered as a student at Hobart College, at Geneva, New York. In 1875 lie was graduated there with his degree of A. P> three years later receiving the degree of A. M. from the same institution. In 1876 he was graduated in medicine from the Ohio Medical College and subsequently took a post-graduate course at the New York College of Physicians and Surgeons.

Dr. Jones then came to Circleville, entered into practice and also became a member of the faculty of the Columbus Medical College, at Columbus, Ohio, filling the chair of ophthalmology for two years, and that of physiology for four years. The demands of a rapidly growing private practice, however, made it necessary for Dr, Jones to resign his college work and devote his whole time to his extensive Cireleville practice. Until 1882 he was associated with his father, but at that date the older physician retired and our subject has continued to practice alone. He is a member of the Columbus Academy of Medicine, of the American Academy of Medicine, and of the Pickaway County Medical Society. The last named organization, which is one of the oldest medical societies in the State, was incorporated by three eminent physicians of Circleville — Dr. N. E. Jones and Drs. Turney and Thompson.

In 1882 Dr. Jones was married to Mary McMullin, a daughter of the late Rev. Samuel PI. McMullin, who was pastor of the Presbyterian Church at Glendale, Ohio. The children of Dr. and Mrs. Jones are: Hildeburn J., a student at Amherst College; Lloyd H., a student in the Circleville High School; and Lillian, Eleanor and Virginia.

Politically Dr. Jones is a Republican. Ide served as a delegate to the Republican National Convention which nominated the late President McKinley, in 1896. Through several administrations he has been medical pension expert for Southern Ohio. Fraternally he is an Elk.
