The late Rev. Samuel Flood Jones, 1895. Engraving from a photograph. 'The musical services at Westminster Abbey will not seem quite the same to many people who have grown accustomed to appreciate the enthusiasm of the late Rev. Samuel Flood Jones, Precentor and Minor Canon, who died on Feb. 26. The evening service choir in particular will miss Mr. Jones, who did so much to render it efficient. His connection with the Abbey that he loved so well commenced in 1857, when he became Deputy Minor Canon, advancing to a Minor Canonry two years later, and becoming Precentor in 1868. Mr. Flood Jones was an admirable musician, and, it may be remembered, it was he who chanted the service which celebrated the Queen's Jubilee in Westminster Abbey. He was chaplain to Sir Joseph Renals when the latter was Sheriff of the City of London, and he was filling the same office to Sir Joseph during his present Mayoralty. The Precentor was sixty-eight years of age'. From "Illustrated London News", 1895.
