The funeral of J. Rice Jones of Bisbee who died at the 
Sisters Hospital on Saturday afternoon took place 
yesterday afternoon from the undertaking rooms of 
Easterling and Whitney and was well attended.  Mr. 
Jones who had been a resident of Bisbee for several 
years came here a few weeks ago for treatment for an 
affection of the eyes.  He was later stricken by 
paralysis.  He was at one time a millionaire but he 
lost his fortune and came west.  He engaged in 
gambling and accumulated about $20,000 which he 
invested in Bisbee real estate.  He was highly 
regarded by those who knew him on account of his 
generosity and his honesty.
