Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/DZB.2ACI/48.1.1 Message Board Post: Hi Again, I just posted and would directly e-mail though that doesn't seem to work. I think I may be related to Sam Pond Jones through his wife. Was she from Cleveland, Ohio? Do you know her parents and how they met. I just found an Edith Kerr listed as the youngest daughter with my great- grandparents in Cleveland in 1900. Then I found the marriage of the only Edith Kerr listed as marrying in Cuyahoga County. Ages don't seem to match as the census has Edith three years younger than Sam and the 1900 census lists her as born in June, 1883.x I would suspect Edith might be an adopted granddaughter as my great-grandmother would have in about 53 or 54 at the recorded time of Edith's birth. .I was pretty excited to think we might have a major league pitcher on our family tree. :-) I came about all this quite by accident. At the least, I have learned about an interesting man with a significant pro-baseball career. Subj: Obits.: Date: 6/6/2002 7:45:47 PM Eastern Standard Time From: SJJT To: [email protected] SAMUEL POND JONES Submitted by: Sandra Jones Taylor ([email protected]) Source: The Evening Star, Washington, DC Thursday, July 7, 1966 Sad Sam Jones Dies at 73, Pitched 22 Years Woodsfield, Ohio (AP) Sad Sam Jones, who shared with Cy Young the record for longevity among major league baseball pitchers of all time, is dead. The 73-year-old Jones was stricken here Wednesday at his home where he had lived since leaving baseball for good after a brief stint as a minor league relief hurler in 1947. Jones would have been 74 in 20 more days, and also would have marked his golden anniversary with his wife, Edith, the same day. Sad Sam enter the major leagues with Cleveland in 1914 and pitched through the 1935 season, chalking up 22 consecutive years. Only he and the great Young of Newcomerstown, Ohio, pitched that many years consecutively in the majors. All of Jones' pitching was in the American League. Jones, in addition to Cleveland, pitched for New York, St. Louis, Washington, Chicago, and Boston. He had a lifetime record in the majors of 228-216, including 36 shutouts, and a no-hitter on Sept. 4, 1923, defeating the old Philadelphia Athletics 2-0. While Jones' career was impressive, it also was marked by disappointment. For one thing, he pitched in six games in four World series without winning a game. While with the Yankees in the 1923 World Series, he tossed a four-hitter at the New York Giants only to lose 1-0 on a fourth-inning home run by Casey Stengel. Jones set two records of dubious distinction for the Yankees in 1925. He gave up 127 earned runs that year while posting a record of 15-21. The earned run mark and the 21 games lost stand today in the Yankees' record books. Many athletes have used the nickname Sad Sam, but Paul Turner of Woodsfield, a long-time friend, said Jones was the original. "But he wasn't sad. There wasn't anything sad about him.... I don't know where he got the nickname," said Turner. The family did not disclose the cause of death. In addition to the widow, Jones is survived by two sons, Paul, of Erie, PA, and George, of New York City. Jones became the president of the Woodsfield Savings and Loan Co. after returning to his home town 19 years ago. Funeral services will be held here Saturday. Source: Monroe Co. Beacon Funeral services will be held here Saturday afternoon for Samuel Pond Jones, 73, of South Paul Street, Woodsfield, who died yesterday morning, July 6, at 10:15 in the Barnesville Hospital following a lengthy illness. Mr. Jones was a retired baseball player, having pitched for the major leagues for 22 years, joined famous pitchers with one no-hit, no-run game, and is well known and remembered in baseball circles throughout America. he was active in the local finance business and was president of the Board of Directors of the Woodsfield Savings and Loan Co. he was a member of the Woodsfield Presbyterian Church and the Woodsfield Masonic Lodge. Mr. Jones was born July 26, 1892, at Woodsfield, a son of the late Delbert and Margaret Clingan Jones. Surviving are his wife, Edith Kerr Jones; two sons Paul of Erie, Pa, and George of New York City; three granddaughters; and two brothers, Robert Jones of Woodsfield and Charles Jones of Mt. Vernon, Ohio. Funeral services will be held Saturday afternoon at 2:00 o'clock from the Bauer and Turner Funeral Home with Reverend Boyd Burd officiating. Burial will be in oak Lawn Cemetery

Surnames: Osbun/Osborn, Holmes, Emmons, Cross, White Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/DZB.2ACI/2488 Message Board Post: The few details I have for John and Margaret (Bowers) Cross were found in a brief biographical sketch of their son Peter Cross (pub. late 1800's). John Cross and Margaret Bowers were natives of PA (exact location not known), and were in Bowling Green Twp by about 1812/14, when their son Peter was born. John Cross was said to have died in Bowling Green at the age of 68 (year not given, perhaps 1840s-1850s). I believe Peter had a sister, Lydia, who resided in Hardin Co., OH, and whose married name was KISSLING. Peter Cross was in Rushsylvania Twp., Logan Co., OH by 1840, then in Hardin Co. by 1870, where he died 1894. He was buried in Logan Co. Lydia (Cross) Kissling is buried in Seig Cem., Hardin Co. Any additional information about the family of John and Margaret (Bowers) Cross would be welcome. When did John Cross die, and where is he buried? Is Margaret buried in the same cemetery? Did they have children other than Peter and Lydia?
