of the three children - George O. C., Eliza -! beth, and Edward - of the Rev. Amos and Ann Maria (Crocker) Lawrence. His father, a native of Geneseo, Livingston County, N. Y., a graduate of Yale College in the lit- | erary and scientific course, and of Hartford Theological School, is a minister in the Con- gregational church, who has held various pastorates and has preached in many differ- ent places. For some years he has been a resident of Newton, Mass.
The advantages of a liberal education and of foreign travel have been enjoyed by Mr. ' George O. C. Lawrence. Having pursued his preparatory studies in the public schools of Newton, he took his college course at Am- herst, where he was graduated in the Class of 1882. He afterward spent two years as a student at the University of Göttingen, Germany. Returning to Massachusetts, he shortly went to Buenos Ayres, Argentine Republic, S.A., where he established an ex- tensive business in the canning of native fruits, which is conducted with marked suc- cess to the present time, the goods finding a ready market in different parts of South America. Our subject seems to have inher- ited in a good degree the genius for business, the foresight and enterprise that characterize the Lawrences; and, though yet a young man, he has already achieved an assured position in commercial and financial circles.
Honorable and upright in all the relations of life, Mr. Lawrence is a worthy member of the Congregational church. He was united in marriage with Miss Ida Beem, of Hamil-

ton, in 1887. They have one daughter, Gladys. Mrs. Lawrence is a communicant of the Episcopal church, and is active in its every good work.
AVID W. JONES, a useful and highly esteemed adopted citizen of the town of Nelson, was born in Caermarthenshire, Wales, April 1, 1849, and is a son of Thomas J. Jones, a native of the same shire. The parents of the latter were James and Ann Jones, who were lifelong residents of that shire and locality. Thomas J. Jones was reared in his native land, and married there to Hannah Jones, who was also a native of Caermarthenshire, and was a daughter of David L. and Dinah Jones. They resided in Wales until the year 1850, when, accompanied by his wife and two chil- dren, Mr. Jones came to America, landing in New York after a voyage of six weeks in a sailing-vessel. They then came, via the Hudson River and Erie Canal, to Utica. After residing for one year in New Hartford, they removed to Nelson, where Mr. Jones purchased a farm, upon which he lived until his death, in October, 1873. His wife, who reared eight children, still occupies the home farm. Her parents, David L. and Dinah Jones, also came to America, and spent their last years in the town of Nelson.
David W., son of Thomas J. and Hannah Jones, received his early education in the district school, and supplemented it by attendance at Cazenovia Seminary. In 1874
he went to lowa, and taught school one year in Montgomery County, after which he re- turned, and was married October 12, 1876, to M. Jennie Keith, the only child of Levi and Persis (Payne) Keith. After his marriage Mr. Jones went to reside on his father-in- law's farm, where he has lived ever since. His wife died November 22, 1886. She was a true and noble woman, devoted to her parents and a loving and faithful wife. She left one son, Keith, who was born October 25, 1886. Mrs. Jones could trace her ances- try on her mother's side back to Moses Cleve- land, of Woburn, Mass., in 1641, who appears to have been the common progenitor of the Clevelands of New England, of whom the present President of the United States is a descendant. Moses Cleveland is said to have emigrated to this country in 1635, from Ipswich, Suffolk, England. (See "Geneal- ogy of the Cleveland Family," by Horace Gillett Cleveland. ) Mrs. Jones's maternal grandfather was James Payne, who married Persis Cleveland, a descendant of Moses, in Wendell, Franklin County, Mass .. July 4, 1798. Her mother, Persis Payne, was born in Eaton, Madison County, N. Y., April 20. ISIO, and was married to Levi Keith, June 22, 1834.
Mr. Jones is a member of the Presbyterian church of Cazenovia, to which his wife also belonged. He was President of the Town Sunday School Convention for two years after its organization, in 1890. A Republican in politics and a loyal supporter of his party, having an intelligent comprehension of its
700
BIOGRAPHICAL REVIEW
principles and a correct knowledge of its history, he has served his town as a mem- ber of the County Board of Supervisors, and is at present Railroad Commissioner of the town. He is a member of Nelson Grange, No. 615, and has served as Master of the Grange for two years. In brief, Mr. David W. Jones is well known as one of the promi- nent agriculturists of his town, and univer- sally respected as a man of upright character, and as a patriotic citizen who faithfully per- forms his public duties, and is ever willing to lend his aid to the advancement of every worthy cause.
AMES ARTHUR LOYSTER, an able representative of the journalistic en- terprise of Madison County, was born in Niles, Cayuga County, N. Y., June 22, 1866, son of Lewis B. Loyster, whose father was Peter Loyster, a native of Orange County, New York. Abram Loyster, a farmer by oc- cupation, great-grandfather of the subject of this sketch, removed from Orange County, where his Dutch ancestors were early settlers, to Niles; and there spent his last years with his son Peter, who had gone to Cayuga County in his young manhood, and engaged in farming. Peter Loyster married Angelina Van Auken, who was, so far as can be ascer- tained, a lifelong resident of that county. He died at his home in Niles, at the age of forty years.
Lewis B. Loyster, being left an orphan at seven years of age, was early apprenticed to
a tanner, but, after working at that trade a few years, went back to farm work. Indus- trious, resolute, and economical, he in time accumulated enough to purchase the old homestead in Niles, where he still resides. His wife, Lucy Howland, was born in Jeffer- son County, New York, and was a daughter of James and Celinda (Goodenough) Howland.
James A., only son of Lewis B. and Lucy (Howland) Loyster, received his rudimentary education at the district school, and supple- mented it by attendance at a select school in Moravia and a year at Cazenovia Seminary. He then accepted a position as book-keeper in the sash factory in Cazenovia, continuing thus engaged for two years, at the end of which time he returned to the seminary, and, after studying there for two years, was grad- uated with the class of 1888. Purchasing an interest in the sash factory, he was con- nected with that business until 1890, when he sold his share in the factory, and bought the Cazenovia Republican, the only paper published in the village of Cazenovia. He at once assumed management of the paper (which, as its name indicates, is Republican in politics), and has conducted it very suc- cessfully up to the present time. In addi- tion to his newspaper work, he does a large and rapidly increasing business as job printer, the excellence of his work enhancing his repu- tation and assuring his prosperity.
He was married September 3, 1890, to Dora L. Freeborn, who was born in New Woodstock, and is a daughter of Leonard W. and Ruby (Morse) Freeborn. Mrs. Loyster

BIOGRAPHICAL REVIEW
is a lady of intelligence and refinement, and both she and her husband are popular in social circles. They are members of the Methodist Episcopal church, and in the daily duties of life give evidence of the sincerity of their religious faith. Mr. Loyster is a Republican in his political views, and ably upholds the principles of his party in the bright and pro- gressive sheet of which he is editor and pro-
prietor. He is still a young man, and with his qualities of energy and perseverance, guided by a keen intelligence, has before him an enviable future. That his voice will ever be heard in behalf of the good, the true, and the right, and his influence excited for the best interests of his native town and county, will be believed by all who know him or are familiar with his reputation.
