"ancient dignity", slow of speech, but with a clear mind to perceive

Sketches of Brooks History by Norwood
Josiah Jones, (fourth child of Stephen and Anne) came 1814 from
Brunswick to South China, ME. before the close of 1815, he bad built the
homestead owned by the heirs of his grand-son, J. Albert Jones (died 1926).
Josiah was an Elder in the Society of Friends; Moderator, and organizing Member
1830 of South China Library Scoiety.
History of China, Maine from A Gazetteer of the State of
Maine
China was a part of the Plymouth Patent, and was survayed in
1774 by John Jones. "Jones Plantation", named from its surveyor John
Jones who was sometimes called "Black" Jones from the darkness of his
complexion. He was not of the present Jones family in the town. The first
settlers were a large family named Clark, who came from Nantucket. They were
members of the Society of Friends. Mrs. Clark, whose maiden name was Folger, is
said to have been a sister of Benjamin Franklin's mother. The Clarks, on one of
their fishing excursions in the fall of 1774, ascended the Kennebec as far as
Gardiner, where they fell in with surveyor Jones, and the next year removed to
the new plantation. The place was first organized under the name of Jones'
Plantation. In 1776 it was incorporated under the name of Harlem; in 1818
portions of this and of Albion and Winslow were incorporated as the town of
China, and the remainder of Harlem was annexed in 1822.

Jones papers:
William married (1) MARY EMMA GRAVES March 26, 1879, daughter of
CALEB GRAVES and MARTHA FROST. She was born April 02, 1854 in Vassalboro, Kennebec,
Maine, and died December 16, 1925 in South China, Kennebec, Maine. He married
(2) SUSAN ALMYRA CARTLAND October 26, 1926 in Glens Falls, Washington, New
York, daughter of STEVEN CARTLAND and ALMIRA DAY. She was born April 02, 1858
in Maine, and died May 09, 1932 in South China, Kennebec, Maine.
Linwood Wilson Jones was the third child of Mary (Cook) and
Jeramiah R Jones. He married Emma Graves, whose two sisters married Joneses,
and brought her to live in his parents' home. On their twenty-fifth wedding
anniversary in 1904, Hattie Hoxie wrote a poem to celebrate the occasion.
"There is a man in our town,
Linwood W. Jones by name.
He lives some ways form the public road
Yet in the state of Maine.
He lives where his father did on the home farm
And you would think to hear him preach
He had never done any harm."
He was a preacher, with a deep powerful voice, urging his
listeners to believe in Christ Jesus, and he had an equally deep and contagious
laugh which was even more contagious than his preaching. He and Emma had three
children, Lena, Everett, and Marion Eloise. Linwood, besides being a good
preacher and a good companion, was a good farmer. He had a special affection
for bees and kept them in hives across from his daughter, Lena Austin's home.
"Linwood's honey" was a treat for everyone. The sign indicating
"honey for sale" was always covered with a burlap bag on Sundays.
Linwood and Emma Jones' younger daughter, Marion, married Roscoe
Jones. The older daughter, Lena, married Harry Winslow Austin in 1902. A
complicated genealogical relationship between these two can be worked out. They
settled in the Austin Farm, a short distance from South China on the China
Village Road., where their eight children were born. Carrol Eli lived only one
month, but the others all grew up in South China, - Ralph, Aurie, Wendell,
Morris, Kenneth, Amy and Ruth. Three of these children remained in South China,
Ralph who marrid Myrtle Huff; Wendell who married Gladys Proctor and Ruth who
married John Colwell. Wendell died in 1942 following an epidemic of typhoid
fever. He and Gladys and their son Richard were living in his grandfather
Linwood's home, which had been built by great-grandfather, Jeremiah.
Emma Graves Jones died in 1925 and in 1926 when Rufus Jones and
his family were in China, not Maine but the Orient, a letter came from Genie
Jones saying: "Who would have thought Linwood would have done that!?"
The family was left in suspense for weeks, as there was no air mail. The news
finally came that Linwood had married again, Susan (Cartland) Berry Sisson,
whose mother Almyra (Day) Cartland was Caleb Jones' grand-daughter. She was the
mother of Annie (Berry) Kenoyer who came also to South China with her husband,
Henry, and ten children. When Susan died in 1932, Linwood's grandson, Wendell
Austin and his wife, Gladyse (Proctor) Austin, just married, came to live with
him, and he eventually moved up to his daughter's, Lena Austin.

Winslow Austin
born 20 Oct 1875 South Brooks, Waldo, ME died 31 Dec 1960 Vassalboro, Kennebec,
ME son of James and Annie (Gay) Austin. Both buried in Jones cemetery in South
China, Kennebec, ME
Jones papers:
Harry and Lena Austin were two of South China's most important
citizens. They provided ice before electric refrigerators were in exstance.
They sold milk, eggs, chickens, meat, and vegetables. Almost everything that
anybody needed they sold. They were active in the Friends Meeting. Harry served
as its treasurer and Lena has continued since his death. They were active in
many of the town's affairs. Their magnificent barn provided not only shelter for
all their animals but a playhouse for all children. Their home was always a
home for everybody. "Harryandlena" was just one word which everyone
in the village and for miles around knew. harry's death in 1961 and lena's
broken hip some years later have changed the picture, but lena at almost 93
still goes on gallantly, braiding her rugs, gathering in children,
grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She now lives alternately with Ralph or
ruth and in the summer with Aurie and her husband., Thomas Clark, in their
cottage on the lake shore below the Austin Home. the house itself has now been
transformed to make three attractive apartments.

EVELYN MARIE JONES WICKE
SOUTH CHINA - Evelyn Marie Jones Wicke, 80, of South China,
passed away Oct. 30, 2001, at the Maine Veterans Home in Augusta, where she had
resided with her husband for the past 2-1/2 years. She was born Jan. 17, 1921,
in South China, in the Jones House, a house built by her great-grandfather. She
was the daughter of Roscoe E. Jones and Marion E. Jones. She married Erwin
Winslow Wicke on Aug. 17, 1957. They have a son, Steven Wicke, of Columbus,
Ohio. Evelyn attended high school at Lincoln School Quaker (Friends) school in
Providence, R.I. Upon graduation, she attended school in Boston, then attended
and graduated from Gorham State Teachers College in Gorham. In 1942 she began
teaching as a 21-year-old in Alna for $750 a year. She taught in Augusta, and
for five years in Melrose, Mass. One year, she also taught as an exchange
teacher in Hawaii and made lifelong friends there. Win and Evelyn were married
under the care of the South China Friends Meeting and moved to Cincinnati,
where Win worked for Cincinnati Bell Telephone. During their 20 years there, Evelyn
taught school, raised their son, Steven, and was active in Cincinnati Friends
Meeting. When they returned to South China in 1979, Evelyn became librarian of
the South China Library, continuing her mother's 30-year commitment to the
library. She initiated a Mothers and Children Playgroup and weekly Story Hour,
contributing greatly to the community. One of Evelyn's most remarkable
accomplishments has been the painstaking work of compiling the history of the
Jones Family on both her mother's and father's sides. Many famous lives are
documented within her records of the South China Jones family and their
extended families. Evelyn organized three Jones family reunions which drew
hundreds of family members from all over the country, and she was the depository
of information from every branch of the family. Her presence is greatly missed.
Her survivors include her husband, Win Wicke; their son, Steven,
and his wife, Tracey, and Steven's children, Claire and Alana, from a prior
marriage. All of Steven's family is in Ohio. Her sister, Sybil Hoskins, and her
husband, Moses, of Iowa, two nieces, one grandnephew and many cousins also
survive her. A memorial service will be held at 1:30 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 11, at
the South China Community Church. Committal in the Jones Cemetery will follow.

Jones papers:
Frank E. and Ella Jones lived in the first house on the right of
the South Road. Their two sons, Harold and Ernest, both graduated from
Haverford College in 1905 and 1907. Harold taught in Philadelphia, was a
shoemaker, and became superintendent of a condensed milk plant in Ohio. He
married Nancy Smith and they had one daughter, Nancy Elizabeth (Betty), who
married Robert Reese. They have no children. Ernest secured a Master's degree
in Forestry from Yale, 1911, and was in the United States Forest Service, later
withe the Great Northern Paper Company, living near Bangor. He married a South
China girl, Florence Carll and they had three children Curtis, Sherwood and
Faith. Ernest and Florence, with their children, were frequent visitors to
South China. Florence now lives in Brattleboro, Vermont, near Faith and her family.
Both Harold and Ernest are deceased.
Frank E. Jones was a teacher of excellence. The Town Report in
1879 said of him, when he was 25 years old; "We wish we had more such
teachers as Mr Jones." He was a Friends minister and served as pastor for
the Friends Meeting in South China, traveling around to many of the Friends'
mmetings in the near vicinity. AT the time of his death in 1928 Genie Jones
wrote to Rufus M. Jones; "The funeral of Frank Jones was the greatest
testimony to the man's life that is possible to find. . .Pure goodness was
recognized."

Jones papes:
J. Albert Jones was another excellent teacher. In 1876-1877 the
Town Report says of his first year of teaching: "He bids fair to become
one of our best teachers. The school was a success." He was only 17 at the
time. Ten years later he and his wife, Ida, were both teachers, he at the China
Academy and she at South China, and by 1890 the Report says: "We cannot
speak too highly of Mr. (Albert) Jones as a teacher. He seeks to bring his
scholars to a practical knowledge of their studies rather than to confine them
to the text." It could have been either one of the brothers to whom Rufus
Jones referred in A Small Town Boy: "We all very soon adored him, and
under his guidance we began to take on new intellectual and moral
stature." The students "had come under discipline and could be led
whithersoever this teacher wished to lead." After J. Alberts' death Ida
and Clara moved to Newberg, OR.
