Sidney O. JONES   


PETERSBURG. 

NEWS NOTES FROM THE COCKADE CITY. 

Funeral of Mr. Jones - Badly Bitten by a Dog - 
   Political Matters - Robbery, Etc. 
 [Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.] 
                 PETERSBURG, VA., Sept. 10, 1888. 

  The funeral of the late Sidney O. Jones, who died suddenly of heart-disease 
on Saturday night, took place this afternoon at 4 o'clock from the Tabb-Street 
Presbyterian church.  The weather was very inclement, but notwithstanding this 
fact there was a large attendance at the church, as well as at the cemetery. 
The deceased was a gallant Confederate soldier and one of our most popular 
citizens.  He was a member of A.P. Hill Camp of Confederate Veterans, and the 
old Confederate survivors generally turned out to pay respect to his memory. 
He was buried with Masonic honors.  The death of Mr. Jones was a peculiarly 
sad one, and by no means the least feature of regret about it was the fact 
that in a few days he was to have been married. 



Sidney O. JONES, Confederate veteran,
