Obituary:
GRACE B. JONES
The announcement Sunday morning of this week that Grace B. Jones, wife of Dr. C.W. Jones, was dead, at the family home on South Chestnut street, Olathe, came as a very great shock to the people of this county, where Doctor Jones and his wife have lived so long. In every heart there was grief and distress, and on every tongue expressions of regret and of sympathy for the Doctor and his daughters.
Grace Breyfogle was born on the farmstead of her father, Lewis W. Breyfogle, near Lenexa. The father and mother were poineers and took a leading part in the social and public life of Johnson County in the old days. Grace grew up with her brothers and sisters on the farm and went to the nearest country school. Lewis Breyfogle believed in education and being able he gave them all a good schooling. Grace graduated at Baker University, and had made arrangements to go to Vassar College whe her two sisters, Lizzie and Lena were killed by a katy train at the now memorable Breyfogle corssing. Instead she went back to Baker and took a post graduate course in music. Christmas day 1902 she was married to Dr. Charles W. Jones, then a young physician just beginning to gather practice at Lenexa. They lived at Lenexa for six years and there two daughters were born to them, Genevieve and Josephine, both of whom died in infancy. Dr. Jones and his wife moved to Olathe in 1908 where the Doctor has practiced his profession ever since, with the exception of the time he spent in the service of Uncle Sam overseas. In that time they have been identified prominently with the social, public, and business life of Olathe.
Grace Jones inherited from her father and mother the spirit of kindness and gentleness, and that grace of character which betokens the gentlewoman. No matter where she walked, in the Home, at the Club, in Society, or on missions of charity and mercy, it was her part with a pleasant smile, and gentle speech, and kindly heart "to mark all bright hours of the day, with daily love." Among those who knew her, Grace Jones was regarded as a leader and she drew to her the full confidence and respect of her friends and neighbors. She was a glorious mother, and the two young daughters, Kathleen and Mary Jane, have lost a heart which was a staff to lean upin . "The strongest on the longest day, with steadfast love." For Dr. Jones there is everywhere, only the deepest sympathy, for the community knows that his loss can not be estimated by any measurement the world knows.
The funeral service was held at the home Wednesday morning, conducted by Rev. A.C. Brown, pastor of the Methodist Church, of which Grace Jones was a member from childhood. Burial took place at the Lenexa cemetery in the Jones family lot.
Mrs. Jones leaves, besides her husband and two daughters, three brothers, Frank Breyfogle of Chanute, and Charles and Warren Breyfogle of Los Angeles, Calif, and one sister, Mrs. L. B. Kieffer, of Los Angeles.
Frank Breyfogle and family and Mrs. Warren Breyfogle and Mrs. Charles Breyfogle were present at the funeral. Other relatives were: Dr. and Mrs. H. H> Jones of Winfield Kansas, Mr. and Mrs. C.W. Hunt of Hannibal, Mo., MR. H.H. Hunt of Hannibal, mo., Joseph O. Hunt of Excelsior Springs, Mo., Frank L. Jones of Kansas City, Mo., and Mrs. Richard Jones.
