Mary Jane Jones Read, daughter of Elijah and Katherine Jones, was born Jan 18, 1885 in Scott township, Madison county, Iowa, where she grew to young womanhood.
On Nov. 29, 1905 she was united in marriage to Asahel Read. To this union were born seven children, five of whom survive her; Nelson, age 10, Dwight, 8; Katherine 6, Raymond 4 and Jessie, 2. Besides these she leaves a father, mother, one brother, three sisters, and a host of friends to mourn their loss.
She lived a quiet, unassuming life, beloved by all who knew her, was a devoted wife, a kind, loving mother, always ready and willing to minister to the needs of her family and friends. We bow in submission to the divine will, assured that our loss is her eternal gain.
Funeral services were conducted by Rev. W. W. Williams of Saint Charles, at the Union Chapel church, after which the remains were laid to rest by the side of the two little ones who had gone on before.
Transcriber's Note: Burial was at Union Chapel Church, South township.
