Headline: Death's Harvest Prominent People of Mills County Pass Away; Former Residents Brought Here for Burial
Death's harvest has been unusually heavy the past week in this vicinity. In addition to three deaths in Malvern and vicinity, two former residents who died in other places were brought here for burial.
Mrs. James Jones
Elizabeth Jane Oman was born in Columbia County, Pa., Sept. 14th, 1837, and died on her birthday, on Monday, Sept. 14th, 1914, aged 77 years.
Mrs. Jones was familiar with the pioneer life of this country. Her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Peter Oman caught the western spirit and moved to Schoolcraft, Mich., when she was seven years old. They made the trip to their new home by driving across the Alleghany mountains to the vast prairies that lay beyond.
Sept. 1st, 1859, she and Mr. Jones were married at Kalamazoo, Mich. They came to Iowa in the spring of 1860 and settled on the Frank Wright farm near Glenwood. In order to make this trip they took the train for St. Louis and then came by boat to Plattsmouth. While on this farm war broke out and Mr. Jones enlisted as an artificer in Co. C, First Regiment of Engineers, Missouri, and served three years.
Mrs. Jones knew something of the anxiety and dread of war. She was but a young wife with an infant baby. During these trying times she made her home with Mrs. L.W. Tubbs. When Mr. Jones returned from the war they made their home on a farm one mile north of Malvern. They lived here until 1871 and then resided on the Sherman Jones place until 1904. Her residence was in Malvern until four years ago when she went to the home of her daughter, Mrs. W.E. Wilson.
Her husband James Jones died on July 3d, 1908.
Five children blessed their home. Aden died Dec. 19, 1897. Those who mourn the loss of a precious mother are: Armintha of Sheridan Lake, Colo.; Mrs. Martha Wilson, Sherman Jones and Mrs. Mary Biebricher, of Bellevue, Ohio. There are two sisters, Mrs. Wm. McLaughlin, Bellevue, Ohio, Miss Martha Oman, Schoolcraft, Mich. and six grand children. Mrs. Jones united with the Methodist church in early girlhood and affiliated with the same in Malvern until the organization of the Presbyterian church when she became a charter member of the new organization and continued a faithful member until death.
Funeral services were held Wednesday afternoon conducted by the Rev. Peter Jacobs of the Methodist church, Imogene. A brief service was held in the W.E. Wilson home at twelve o'clock. The regular service was held in the East Liberty church at two o'clock. The remains were interred in the East Liberty cemetery.
