SCRANTON JOURNAL Scranton, Iowa Thursday August 11, 1887 Page 5 col. 4 Died, Aug. 3rd 1887, at 8:30 a.m. in Ness City, Kansas, Mrs. Angeline Jones, aged 50 years, 9 months and 19 days, of Consumption, wife of H.J. Jones. She leaves eleven children to mourn the loss of a loving mother. Mr. Jones brought the remains of his wife from Jefferson to this place for interment, arriving here late Friday evening of the 5th. The funeral services were held at the Jones schoolhouse, in Kendrick township, Sunday, the 7th, at 11 a.m. The Rev. J.W. Buckner conducted the same. Not only was the schoolhouse filled, but the yard also. There was said to be over one hundred teams at the schoolhouse. It took the better part of an hour for the vast throng to view the remains as they lay in the beautiful casket. At the close of the service at the schoolhouse the remains were taken to the Tolliver cemetery and laid to rest in this silent city of the dead. Mrs. Jones died as she had lived, a devout christian woman. She came to this county over thirty years ago, and was therefore widely known, and highly esteemed for her many virtues. Less than a year ago she went with her husband and family to Kansas, with a hope that that climate might prove beneficial to her; but alas! that fatal disease had become deep-seated and there was no staying its ravages. Mr. Jones had two physicians attending her. It leaves Mr. Jones with four small children upon his hands to care for, a task that will tax him greatly. He has the deep sympathy of all his old neighbors and friends in this his sore trial. May the orphans God ever shadow those little motherless children, and furnish consolation to the bereft husband and all the mourners. Mr. Jones is greatly pleased with the kindness shown him by his old acquaintances and neighbors. It fills his heart with gratitude and has tendency to lighten his burden.
