Editor, Republican: On July 2nd,
Jonas Williams, an aged and highly respected citizen, died at his home on upper War Eagle."Uncle Jonas" as he has long been familiarly known, was at the time of his decease 80 years, one month and 2 days old. Mr.Williams was known by all as an exemplary citizen, a kind husband and father who enjoyed the confidence and love of all who knew him. More than twelve years ago, he became sorely affiicted, suffering intensely for several years, so much so that no one thought he could possibly survive. But being a man of strong constitutuion and correct habits of life, he improved slightly being at best a crippled and constantly suffering man to the end of his life. About a week prior to his death, Uncle Jonas was out about on the place on his canes as usual. A severe pain in his maimed foot rapidly prostrated him. Paralysis of the left arm quickly extended to the body at once affecting the respiratory system. He lay for several hours in a comatosestate, passing away at the last as one falling into a peaceful sleep. His remains were laid to rest in the Cove Cemetery with be fitting funeral ceremonies conducted by Rev. David Keck. He leaves an aged and much affiicted wife and two faithful and loving daughters, together with a host of relatives and friends to mourn his death; but all are glad they can say: "We sorrow not as those that have no love". A friend.Transcribed and submitted by Lynn Gibson.
Submitter's note: The obit does not have the year of his death, but I have a letter written to my Grandpa Hooper from my Grandma and she is telling how Jonas Williams had died. The date of the letter is July 16,1902, she is telling about how lonesome his family is and how some of the men went and took care of his crops. It said he got sick and lived about a week...It was just cut out of the paper and stuck in my great-great-grandmother's Bible.
