Two weeks ago their five year old son died with diabetes and this loss, together with an attack of the measles, caused her death at 9 o'clock Sunday morning. Less than 18 months ago they lost a son of typhoid fever. The funeral was held at the residence at 2pm Tuesday afternoon, Rev. McCulloch of the M. E. church preaching the funeral sermon. The Women of Woodcraft, of which she was a member held apppropriate exercises at the cemetry using the beautiful burial services of that order. A large and sympathetic crowd of friends were present. She leaves a husband and three children to moarn her demise.
Rebecca F. Thoroughman was born June 12 1865 in Bates county Missouri. She was married to Mr. W. C. Jones in Gunnison, Colo. January 30 1893. They came to Castle Rock and have resided here since that time.
