A random excerpt from the Biographical Section:
Rev. David Winston Jones -born July 11, 1821–President of Eel River Conference from 1872 – 1883. ………………….on August 1, 1840, he was married to Jane Atkinson, a worthy young lady of the same county, whose parents were also Quakers, she being a birth-right member, and they were both disowned for accomplishing their marriage contrary to the church rules. These were the years in which the anti-slavery question was up for settlement, and he took an active part in the discussion
. In 1852 he removed to Marion, the county seat, and established the Mississinewa Gazette, a weekly anti-slavery and temperance paper. At this time he joined the Christian church and commenced preaching. In 1856 he united with the old Bluffton Conference and was ordained at Middletown by Revs. N. Summerbell, Arthur W. Sanford and «blind» John Byrkett.
Between the years 1852 and 1863 he was engaged in publishing, occasional preaching, and two years as county treasurer of Grant County. In 1863 he removed to Fort Wayne and established the Fort Wayne Daily Gazette, which he published for some months, took a partner and after two years sold out.
In 1871 he united with the Eel River Christian Conference, held with the Eel River church August 14, and resumed the ministry, serving several different churches as pastor. . At the annual session of the Conference in 1872,he was elected president of the Conference, which position he held for eleven years, and declined a reelection. In January, 1876, he issued the first number of The Christian Age, which he continued as a monthly and semi-monthly publication for five years. He was the first to propose and advocate the organization of a State Christian Conference; and at the organization at Cassville, Miami county, was chosen its first Secretary.
Rev. Jones was called home on June 22, 1910 at the advanced age of 89 years, after many years of service .
