Hi All,
Does anyone know anything about this contemporary of Tumblety?
The following information is from the History of Wyandot County [Ohio]—
Charles P. Jones MD, born Wales, 3rd September 1834. His parents were David E. and Ann (Price) Wales, also natives of Wales, and emigrated to America with their six children in 1837. They settled at Utica, N. Y., where they resided till 1847, when they removed to Ohio, locating in Portage County, where they purchased fifty acres of land.
Charles P. Jones was educated in the public schools of Cleveland, abandoning his studies at eighteen. He subsequently engaged in a mercantile establishment as a salesman, attending school at intervals, and began the study of medicine at Toronto, Canada, in 1856, under the instruction of Dr. F. Tumblety, remaining with him nearly four years.
In 1857, he entered the Toronto Medical Institute, graduating in 1859. In 1860, he began the practice of his profession at Chicago, Ill., where he remained one year, when, on account of failing health, he was compelled to suspend his practice for about one year. He subsequently resumed his practice, and in 1865 located at Nevada [Ohio], where he has since been engaged. He has a good practice, and has accumulated considerable property as a result of his labors, owning a good house and a two-story brick building on Main Street, Nevada, the same costing $5,000 in 1880.
Dr. Jones was married at Bucyrus, June 27, 1860, to Emma E. Caldwell, daughter of Judge Hugh R. and Ann (White) Caldwell, three children having been born to them; Gussie E., born May 14, 1875, is the only one living; Lewis, A. and Charles N. are the deceased. He is a member of the Northwestern Medical Association; Medical Examiner of the Knights of Honor, of which order he is also a member; member of the Lutheran Church, and a Republican in politics.
The LDS Marriage, Birth and 1880 Census details all correspond, but I cannot find the Toronto Medical Institute or a firm connection with the Northwestern Medical Association.
Regards,
Simon
