Was Head of The Massey -Harris Co.
Following an illness of about two
months duration, Sir Lyman Melvin
Jones passed peacefully away at Wel-
lesly Hospital- at noon on Sunday.
On Friday morning the physicians in
attendance on Sir Lyman informed
the members of the family that the
Knight's condition was such that no
hope of his recovery could be enter-
tained. Lady Jones and her daugh-
ter. Mrs. T. Cravrford Brown, had
been in ahnost constant attendance
• at the bedside until the end came.
Sir Lyman was operated on about
a month ago by Col. Dr. • Herbert
Bruce, who returned to Canada from
abroad for the sole purpose of per-
forming this operation. The opera-
tion was performed in two stages and
was successful. A few clays after
Col. Bruce had sailed for England a
chronic ailment developed and the
patient's condition became so serious
the° physicians • in attendance upon
him decided that transfusion of 'blood
would be necessary to save his life.
His son-in-law, Rev.. T. Crawford
Brown, volunteered to sacrifice the
blood required and the operation was
carried out successfully. The follow-
ing day it became necessary to resort
to a see -ofd transfusion. Thereafter
the patient's condition remained about
the same until Friday, when a change
came quite suddenly.
The name' of Sir Lyman Melvin
Jones will always be -associated in the
public niemory with the great agri-
cultural implement industey. He was
but a young man and the industry
was in its infancy when he entered
the service of the firm that laid the
foundations of • future extensions
From that time forward, until his
death the industry was his chief
care. He grew up with it, became
general manager of the present Mas-
sey -Harris Company upon its forma-
tion, and during the past number of
years had been its controlling force.
The late Sir Lyman was a native
of York County, but he traced his
ancestry back to Wales He was born
in 1843, the son of etlierinan „Jones
and Theresa Jane Patterson, his
wife. • His first real employment
was as a young man with the firm of
A. Harris, Son and Co., Brantford,
and while still in his twenties was
admitted as a partner. In 1879 he
was sent to Winnipeg as western man-
ager,and later was made general. man-
ager. The formation of the Massey -
Harris Company in 1891 brought him
to Toronto as general manager of the
consolidation. He became president
as well in 1902 and held that post until
his death.
