Benjamin JONES - Mr Benjamin Howell Jones, C.M.G., died at his residence,
Wednesden, Aspley Guise, yesterday. Mr. Jones was a well-known sugar
estates proprietor of British Guiana. He came of an old Demerara family
which owned Plantations Houston, La Bonne Mère, and Hope. After receiving
his education in England, he went out to the colony and gained a practical
knowledge of sugar cultivation and manufacture on Pln Farm, afterwards
becoming attorney of the family estates. He was elected a member of the
Court of Policy of British Guiana in 1880 and was senior member when the
old Constitution expired in 1891. He was appointed to the Executive Council
in 1900 and reappointed in 1905. Always zealous where the interests of the
colony and its people were concerned, he served on many public
commissions and boards, and was Commissioner at the first colonial
Exhibition in 1886. Unlike many of the old school of planter, he was an ardent
believer in minor industries. Mr. Howell Jones represented British Guiana at
the last coronation and received the C.M.G. on that occasion. He retired from
the colony last year but intended to visit it periodically; and he was a staunch s
