Death of GERALD JONES

Gerald Jones, the 19 year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Walter Jones, passed away Sunday evening after a long illness and hopeless battle against the ravages of tubercular trouble, with which he was overtaken about two years ago.

Everything possible was done to save his life, including treatment at Alberquerque, New Mexico, but without avail.

Funeral services were held at the home east of Patterson yesterday afternoon, and burial made in the Winterset cemetery.
