She is survived by the husband and three children, Ellsworth of Cedar Rapids; and Mrs. John Tracy and William of this city. Four children have preceded her to the better land.
Mrs. Jones was a woman who was well liked in this community. She was a good neighbor and a friend to all. In her home she was a loving and patient wife and mother, and she will be sadly missed by those who are dearest to her, especially by the one whose companion she had been for over fifty years.
