ROBERT J. JONES DIED LAST FRIDAY

Winterset Jeweler for 46 Years Dies at His Home in Des Moines

Robert J. Jones, Sr., retired Winterset jeweler, died last Friday, Feb. 17, at his home in Des Moines. He was 78 years of age.

Mr. Jones was a widely known Winterset business man for 46 years, during which time he operated a jewelry store and watch repair business on the west side of the square. Because of ill health, he retired about four years ago, and had been living in Des Moines for nearly two years.

He was a member of the Knights of Pythias, and a 50-year member of the Masonic order. He was a member of the First United Presbyterian church of Winterset.

Mr. Jones was a native of Ida Grove, where he was born Nov. 8, 1888, a son of John and Ida Mae Scott Jones. As a young man he was married at Ottumwa to Genevieve Nugent. Her death occurred in 1929. In 1965 he was married to Mrs. Edo MacMorris of Des Moines, who survives him.

In addition to his wife, he leaves a son, Robert Jones, Jr. of Denver, Colo.; four grandchildren; and a sister, Mrs. Mary L. Miller of Mason City.

Funeral services were held Tuesday from the Wilson Funeral home in Winterset, conducted by the Rev. John Fink, pastor of the First United Presbyterian Church.
