The death occurred yesterday of the Rev. Dr. David Egryn Jones, at Alma road, St. Kilda. Dr. Jones, who was on a visit from Tasmania, suffered a sudden illness. For more than 50 years Dr. Jones was a minister of the Welsh Church in Wales and in Australia. On a visit to London he studied medicine,and after having obtained several degrees he returned to Melbourne and practised in Collins street.
A powerful speaker and the possessor of a wide knowledge of the history of the Welsh Church, he was a leading member of the church in Victoria. He was minister of the Melbourne Welsh Church on three different occasions, and he was several times Moderator of the Assembly of the Welsh Church of Victoria, the Gymanfa. About seven years ago he retired from active ministry, and for the last three years he had been living in Tasmania.
