MINNIE LEINA JONES
Was born near Ruskin, Nebr., October 9th, 1893; later living with her parents near Nora. She was united in marriage with Oliver Roscoe Said January 29th, 1913, making their home at Ralston, Nebr., until God claimed their bright happy lives, as an Easter lily fadeth, in the tornado of March 23rd, 1913.
Her disposition and character can best be realized by those left behind. She leaves a mother, six brothers, six sisters, grandparents, and may other relatives and friends. She was 19 years, 5 months and 4 days of age at the time of her death. She was found clasped in her husband's arms mid the wreckage, as if even death could not break their happy union.
