JONES, LINNIE A.
(8 Apr 1926, Elk City News Democrat, Elk City, Beckham Co, OK):
Mrs. Linnie A. Jones died at Mrs. R. O. Jenkins' Rooming House at
8:00 o'clock Wednesday morning.
Mrs. Jones was the mother of Miss Irene Jones, who accepted a position on
the Post-Herald and Times as linotype-operator about six weeks ago and
came here from near Kingfisher with another daughter, Miss Viola Jones,
about two weeks ago.  They had secured an apartment from Mrs. Jenkins and
were making their home there.  Last week Miss Jones was offered a position
at Guthrie, and it being nearer their former home, and where their
relatives live, she left Saturday evening for Guthrie, her mother
appearing to be much better, and it was thought she would be able to join
her daughter within a week or so.
Miss Jones was immediately notified of the death of her mother and she
arrived here late Wednesday night, and the remains were prepared for
shipment to Kingfisher, Misses Irene and Viola Jones leaving with the body
today.  If proper connections are made they will arrive in Kingfisher
Friday forenoon and the funeral will be held that afternoon or Saturday,
interment being made in the Kingfisher cemetery, where the husband and
father and mother of Mrs. Jones are buried.
Would Have Been 62 in July.
Mrs. Jones was born in Ringling, Illinois, July 11, 1864, and would have
been sixty-two years old the coming July.  She was married twice, and has
five children who survive her.  Francis Gorton, of Dover, Oklahoma, Mrs.
John Hart of Springdale, Ark., Hugh Jones of Kingfisher and the two
daughters who were here with her, Miss Irene Jones and Miss Viola Jones. 
She also has a step-daughter Mrs. E. E. Barrett of Tulsa.  There is also a
brother and four sisters, Charles Wells, Miss Carie Wilcox, and Mrs. J. A.
Shackleford of Kingfisher, Mrs. C. E. Martin of Okesa, Oklahoma and Mrs.
E. E. Hart of Longdale, Oklahoma.
For a year Miss Irene Jones has been practically the sole support of her
mother and sister, during that time having been linotype operator on the
Elk City Press.  Miss Viola has been studying telegraphy and hopes to
equip herself for that work.  Hollis Post-Herald.
The News-Democrat and the many Elk City friends of Misses Irene and Viola
Jones extend sympathy to them in their hours of sorrow.
