Reno Evening Gazette May 20, 1881
Died on the Road
The Wood River Miner says: “On Tuesday last, May 10, N. B. Jones, quite an
old-timer on this coast, died a stranger in a strange land.  By private
conveyance he was traveling with a gentleman friend from California to Wood
River, and had accomplished all of the journey save about eight miles, dying on
the road about that distance below Bellevue.  From J. W. Edwards, of Reno, Nev.,
we learn that he has been acquainted with deceased for a period of 10 or 12
years.  He owned a farm in the east, and had relatives in Iowa; he lived in Reno
for a time; was guard at the Nevada State Prison awhile, and from Carson went
into California.  His health being no better in that State, he concluded to test
the Wood River climate.”  Jones died near Black’s ranch, 8 miles from Bellevue.
 The Masons took charge of the burial.
