IN MEMORY OF G. H. JONES.

Gilbert Harrison Jones died with paralysis at his home in Tolo, at 11 a.m.,
Feb. 6, 1897, aged 73 years, 2 months and 28 days.

Deceased was born in Canada and came to Oregon July 12, 1876. On the 8th
day of November last he sought the Saviour by repentance and faith and was
born again, saved through Christ. He maintained this hope and love to God
to the last. He died an old man, but only a babe in Christ, and has gone to
the rest prepared for God's children. He leaves a wife and eight children
and many friends to mourn his loss.                           F. T. Downing
