The Mountain Ash Choral Group, of which William Jones was a member, performed at the Franklin County Memorial Hall, Columbus, Ohio, in November 1908, probably on November 20, based on the date of his cousin Ethel's postcard to Will's sister Lilian May. Unless she was writing in advance of the performance. The Musical Courier, New York, Wednesday November 25, 1908, page 39, (image attached) seems to say it was on November 27.

On November 23, 1908, Ethel Jones of Columbus, Ohio, sent a postcard to her cousin May Jones in Mountain Ash, South Wales. The message reads:

November 23, 1908
Dear Cousin May:-
This is where cousin Will sang when he was here. You certainly had ought to see it. It is just grand. Ask Will about it. From your loving cousin,

Ethel Jones
