She had been ill at the home of her nephew, Albert Kaiser, for nearly three weeks. Funeral services were held in German in Fredericksburg Wednesday morning and the body was then brought to Junction and services held at her home here in English at two o'clock Wednesday afternoon. Interment was made in the Junction Cemetery. The services were conducted by Rev. Walter C. Probst of Harper. Mrs. Dorthea Kaiser Jones was born in Gillespie County, October 1, 1862, and was the daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Michel Kaiser. When a young woman she moved to Junction and was employed for many years in Junction's leading hotels. She was married to Thomas S. Jones on November 30, 1910. Her husband preceded her on January 15, 1929. She was also preceded by one son. She is survived by one brother, Wm. Kaiser, Sr., Harper, one half-sister, Mrs. Alvin Juenke, Fredericksburg and several other relatives. On account of ill health she went about nine months ago to make her home with her nephew, Albert Kaiser, and family. Mr. and Mrs. Kaiser have cared for her tenderly during these last months of her life. They brought her here Christmas so she could spend the holidays in her home. During her brief stay with them, they gave her every attention she needed. A large crowd of Junction friends attended the services here. She spent 54 years of her life in Junction and remained in her home until she was too feeble to live alone. She had many friends here and it was her request she be interred in Junction. She was kind and considerate of any needing help. Her homegoing brings sorrow to many Kerr, Gillespie and Kimble county people. ======================================================================================
