OBITUARY

Lillie Gertrude Jones, youngest child of Ira and Sarah J. Jones, first
opened her eyes to the light of the world, on July 4, 1854, and closed them
in the sleep, which knows no waking, in the early morning of July 10, 1921.

Death came to her at the old farm home, where she was born, and which she
loved so dearly, and from which home her young brother, Ira A. preceded her
across the "River" only five weeks before.

In her earlier years, she was an earnest and successful teacher, but ill
health forced her to give up the work she loved, and most of her later
years were spent quietly at home.

She was a great reader and enjoyed greatly the best thoughts of our best
authors.

She united with the M. E. church in early womanhood and was always a
faithful member, although not well enough to attend its services often, in
later years. One brother, Frank E. of California, is the surviving member
of her father's family but many nephews and nieces, will cherish the memory
of "Aunt Gertie," as amongst their dearest recollections.

"After life's fitful fever She sleeps well."

Funeral services were conducted at the home three miles south of town, Rev.
A. W. Barnlund conducted the services.
