... Rees Jones' tombstone in the Welsh Tract Churchyard has the following inscription: "Here lies the body of Rees Jones, who departed this life November 23, 1739 ; aged 49 years. 'He was a bright and shining light, Which could not well be spared ; Whose life did show there was but few With him could be compared. His body now lies here below, Entombed in dusty ground ; But will arise from where it lies At the last trumpet sound." ...
