The Norfolk Daily Landmark March 31, 1888

 After seventeen years of domestic felicity not excelled by any, Mrs. Mary 
Jones, beloved wife of Justice Wm. P. Jones, calmly passed away at 7 o'clock 
Thursday night, her mind unclouded and in full possession of all her faculties. 
During the last eighteen months her suffering was of a character which baffles 
description, but throughout the trying ordeal not a murmur escaped her lips, and 
the remarkable fortitude which sustained her was a most beautiful 
exemplification of the Christian faith which abided with her to the final close. 
Next to her pronounced Christian virtues there was none that reflected such 
lustre as that rare quality of her nature, contentment. Whether in prosperity or 
adversity, this virtue was conspicuous. Her funeral took place at the Berkley 
Avenue Baptist Church yesterday afternoon at 4 o'clock in the presence of a 
large and sympathizing audience and the services were conducted by Rev. George 
J. Hobday, assisted by Rev. B.F. Lipscomb. The following gentlemen acted as 
pallbearers: John W.H. Wrenn, E.C. Lindsay, L. Hyslop, John Borden, Isaac Diggs 
and Benjamin Tilley and her remains laid to rest in Magnolia Cemetery.
