Storm Lake Pilot - May 22, 1884 - Mrs W.P. Jones was suddenly stricken down by a fit of apoplexy last Saturday night as she was preparing for bed and died about 3 hours thereafter. She had been feeling unusually well during the day and performed her customary duty at the home.

Mrs Jones was born in York State April 20, 1835 and soon after her family moved to Illinois. She married to Mr Jones in 1854 and in 1871 they came to Storm Lake.

She was the mother of 10 children, 5 now living: Andrew, Eliza, Hallock, Carrie, and Mary, the latter 12 years of age. Mrs Jones was a member of the Congregational church, a true Christian lady and devoted parent, whose presence will be sorely missed in the home circle.

The funeral occurred from the Congregational church Sunday afternoon.
