Uremic poisoning caused her death. She had been seriously ill since one week ago last Saturday and in failing health for the past several months. Funeral services will be from the home Tuesday afternoon at 2 o’clock. Rev. Louis O. Mink, of the Church of Christ, will have charge. Burial will be made in the Rudolph Cemetery. The deceased was born on a farm in Sandusky county near Clyde, September 11, 1863, making her in her sixtieth year when death called. She spent her girlhood days in Sandusky county and in 1893 was united in marriage with Eugene Jones, also a native of Sandusky county. The couple settled in their home community for several years and then went west where they remained a while and in 1891 came to Wood County settling on a farm North of Rudolph. Here they lived for a number of years and then moved to Rudolph from where they came to this city ten years ago and have been here since. While residents of Bowling Green, Mr. Jones has been in the retail coal business. Mrs. Jones’ main activities here were in the Church of Christ, having united with this church when but a young girl. She was an indispensable worker in the church where she performed her duties with heart and soul. As was mentioned above she was president of the Ladies’ Aid Society at the time of her passing and the vacancy made by her death is one that will not be easily filled. She was also a member of the Gleaners Sunday School class and of the Wiley Relief Corps, The Pythias Sisters and Women’s Benefit Association of the Maccabees. Although not unusually active in these fraternal orders she was a faithful attendant and always ready to shoulder any duties slotted her. Mrs. Jones was a woman with many charming qualities which had won a host of true friends. She was a very obliging person with a natural sweetness of disposition that made her friends where she was found. She had excellent judgement but exercised it in a way that made her a quiet unassuming person. She can best be described as a woman with a magnanimous soul and it will be with sincere regret that her many friends will learn of her untimely passing. She leaves to sorrow for her passing a most devoted husband and two brothers and one sister, Ambrose Jones, of Holland, O., and William of near Clyde, and Mrs. Cyrile Wagoner, of Toledo. One son, Artie, preceded the mother to the better life in 1900 at the age of sixteen years. _________________ Bowling Green Daily Sentinel, 25 Apr 1923, Pg. 1, Col. 6 Rev. Louis O.
