OBITUARY – Laura R. Jones was born in Warren county, Illinois, June 8, 1866, and died at her home in Wolbach, Nebraska, June 14, 1923, aged 57 years and 6 days.

When she was about five years old she came with her parents to David City, Nebraska, where she grew to young womanhood.

During her life she was married twice, first to Orin Augaubright. To this union two daughters were born, Eva and Vera. The father and Eva proceded the mother and Vera to the Better Land.

She served one term on the board of Education of Wolbach. Mrs. Aldrich was an affectionate wife, a loving mother, a good neighbor and a consistent Christian woman. She bore her afflictions and sufferings with marvelous patience and optimism until the last. "She rests from her labors and her works do follow her."

Card of Thanks – We take this means of thanking the friends and neighbors for the kindness shown and sympathy extended during the illness, death and burial of our beloved wife and mother and especially do we thank the members of the lodges. C. A. Aldrich and Children.
