From "The Signs of the Times", page 166 (1870):
Dear Brother Beebe: With unutterable sorrow I devote a few lines to the memory
of my dear departed uncle, Elder Benjamin Jones. I feel as many others have
expressed, that a great man in Israel has fallen in death, and passed from the
sight of many who loved him dearly, and gone home to sleep in Jesus, until he
shall awake with the likeness of the dear Savior, whom he so faithfully served
in the gospel ministry. His was a rare, and a peculiar gift, adapted to feed
and to build up both the weak and the strong. He was blest with a distinct and
clear understanding of the world, could rightly discriminate between law and
gospel. His manner was positive, yet mild and endearing, and he showed himself
approved of God, a workman who needed not to be ashamed. He was highly
esteemed, and his praise is in many of the churches of the saints. For many
years he was accustomed to visit his bretheren and friends of the Bald Eagle
Church, near the place of his birth, annually, though living about three
hundred miles distant in Indiana, and his visits were always in the fullness of
the blessing of the gospel of Christ. On those occasions we feasted on fat
things, full of marrow, and wine in the lees well refined. I sorrow because I
shall see his face and hear his voice no more. I have no doubt that to him to
die was gain. D.C. Jones.

From "The Signs of the Times", page 58 (1870):
Dear Brother Beebe: By request, I send you the following obituary notice for
publication:Elder Benjamin Jones died at the residence of his son-in-law, Wm. Richardson,
on Monday, Oct. 18, 1869, in the 75th year of his age. His disease was said to
be flux, with symptoms of typhoid fever. He was confined to his bed but for a
few days. He bore his affliction with fortitude and resignation to the divine
will, until God was pleased to remove him from his earthly tabernacle, to that
celestial city where God the Savior reigns. He made a public profession of
religion in 1825, by joining the Regular Baptist Church of Christ in Antioch,
Rush Co., Indiana, and was baptized by Elder John Blades; after which he
commenced exercising a public gift in the church, and was liberated by the
church to preach the gospel. In 1829 he was set apart to the work of the
gospel ministry, by solemn ordination, by Elders J. Blades and U. Edwards. He
continued forty years or more proclaiming the unsearchable riches of Christ,
much to the comfort and edification of the saints. Some years ago he removed
his residence from Rush, to Boone Co., Ind., and placed his membership in the
Eagle Creek Church, where it remained up to his death. He was an able minister
of the gospel of Christ, and through all the divisions and controversies that
came up, having a tendency to disturb the peace and fellowship of the church,
he stood firm in the doctrine of salvation by grace. He seemed determined not
to know anything among his bretheren save Jesus Christ and him crucified. His
speech and his preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in
demonstration of the Spirit and of power; that the faith of his bretheren
should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God. He lived an
exemplary life, was a good neighbor, a kind husband, and a tender parent. He
left nine children - seven sons and two daughters (four of whom were members of
the same church with him) to mourn their loss, together with many other dear
relatives and friends, as well as his spiritual kindred in Christ. But they
mourn not as others, who are without hope, for it may be truly said of our
deceased brother, that he fought a good fight, that he finished his course, and
kept the faith. The, "Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from
henceforth; yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors, and
their works do follow them." May the Lord sustain his dear children, and give
to them a resignation to his will in all their trials, and prepare them for
usefulness in his visible kingdom, for Christ's sake.
Your brother in tribulation, A.B. Nay
