Death came following a stroke on Thursday morning, and thus fulfilled an ardent wish of her declining years, that she might be spared from a long period of weakness and dependence. Funeral services were held on Monday afternoon at the Congregational Church, in charge of Rev. A. C. Warner, assisted by Rev. Samuel Cushing. A large assembly of friends gathered to pay their last respects. Interment was in the Springfield cemetery. Mrs. Jones was a native of Iowa, having been born at Floyd in that state, January 14, 1886, Lydia Carsner, eldest of three children of Jacob and Delina Carsner. Left motherless in infancy, the children were cared for by their aunt, Mrs. Wilson Shroll for a time, and then Lydia became the housekeeper, at the age of nine, in her father’s household in this county, northeast of Springfield. She learned there a lesson of responsibility which she carried throughout her life, bearing such cares as came to her, loyally, faithfully and without complaint. On April 15, 1884 she was united in marriage to Charles Jones. They made their home in Springfield, then moved to Perkins, and returned Springfield in 1900, and lived here thereafter, save for a short stay at Cuthbert, Mr. Jones died June 14, 1936. Mrs. Jones was the mother of five children. The oldest child Marietta, died in infancy. Everett is presumed to have lost his life in World War I, as he enlisted in the Canadian army and went overseas, and no word was ever received of his fate. The living children are Beatrice’s, Mrs. Wm. Hoaglin, and Minnie and Paul. She is survived also by eight grandchildren and 12 great grandchildren. Mrs. Jones was a life long member of the Congregational Church, a regular attendant and on the last Sunday before her death was in her place for the worship service. She was also a member of the Woman’s Relief corp, and for many years had been a member of the Daughters of Rebekah, dropping her membership a few years ago. Throughout her life she was a helpful spirit wherever her lot was cast. In recent years she gave maternal care and affection to many young men who roomed in her home while attending college here. Many of them have felt so close to her that they have kept in touch with her after leaving, sending messages in the past few years from all quarters of the globe.
