Note: From The Granville Sentinel, Granville, New York, 2 Nov 1944:
"SGT. ROBERT E. JONES
Tribute to the memoory of Sgt. Robert E. Jones, South Poultney young man who paid the supreme sacrifice in the war, was paid Sunday afternoon at the Welsh Presbyterian church in South Poultney by members of the church and other friends who assembled at the church for memorial services for the soldier.
The service opened with an invocation by the Rev. Lucien Kerns, pastor of the Whitehall Presbyterian church. Two Welsh hymns, "Ar ian Iorddonen ddofn" and "Bydd myodd o ryfeddodan" were sung by the congregation, and a duet, "Lead Kindly Light" was sung by Mrs. Elizabeth Thomas and Miss Meriam Edwards of Fair Haven. Miss Olive Morris of Granville was the organist.
The Women's Auxillary and the American Legion attended the service.
Sgt. Robert Jones, son of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas R. Jones, died Sept. 19 in Italy of wounds he had received in action. Robert was born in South Poultney and was a member of the Welsh Presbyterian church. He graduated from the public school and Troy Conference academy in Poultney."
