DIED.

Josephine A. (Nicolls) Jones, wife of F. M. Jones, was born in Allamakee county, Iowa, June 14, 1858, and died in Akron, Ia., April 2, 1917, at the age of 58 years, 9 months and 19 days.

When a young woman, she came to Danbury, Iowa, where she married Frank M. Jones on March 24, 1880. Nine children were born, of whom six survive. They are: Mrs. J. Vreugdenhil, of Akron, Ia.; M. W. Jones, of Smithland, Ia.; Frank M. Jones, of Akron, Ia.; Mrs. D. H. Hannahs, of Plainview, Nebr.; Mrs. R. E. Booth, of Randolf, Nebr.; and Miss Hilda Jones, of Akron, Ia. Mr. and Mrs. Jones with their family moved to Nebraska in 1902, where they resided until 1913, when they came to Union county, S.D., where they have since resided on a farm.

For many years Mrs. Jones was a member of the Baptist church, having joined the church with her husband while they lived at Randolph, Nebr. The deceased had been during all of her married life a kind and loving wife and mother, always living for others. For the past ten years she had been an invalid and suffered severely, but was always patient. During the last week of her life, spent in the Akron hospital, her spirit bore testimony of abiding faith in Christ, her Savior, and she was very happy, even to the last.

Realizing how much mother suffered, all the family are reconciled to her passing, for they believe she has gone to be at rest in a better world.

Funeral services were conducted by the Baptist minister, F. E. Volck, at the church in Akron on Wednesday afternoon. Interment was made in Riverside Cemetery.
