January 21, 1898

Mr. L.W. JONES was born in Morgan county, Ill., March 23, 1817; died at his home
near New Lancaster, Miami county, Kansas, January 4th, '98, aged 80 years, 9
months and 18 days.
He was married December 21, 1843 to Miss Almira Jane JACKSON to whom were born
thirteen children, eight sons and five daughters. There still survive him, his
aged wife, five sons and two daughters.
Mr. Jones, with his wife, was converted to the Lord after which Brother Skelton
RENFROW baptised them in September, 1852, and they both joined the Baptist church.
Some years since they moved to their present home and became members of the New
Lancaster Baptist church, where he lived a consistent Christian until death.
The funeral was conducted by the writer on the 6th. Mrs. Jones, having been
afflicted with rheumatism, was unable to follow the body to its resting place.
Prayer was offered at the home before leaving. The sermon was preached in the
Union church at New Lancaster in the presence of a large audience, after which
the remains were laid to rest in the New Lancaster cemetery.
Father Jones was highly esteemed as a neighbor and citizen and faithful as a
follower of the Lord Jesus. He said he was willing to go and spoke of soon
seeing his children who were gone before. "Blessed are the dead who die in the
Lord."
