Obituary.

JONES.

At noon today at his home, 1132 Farnam street, occurred the death of Thomas Jones, the veteran drayman, at the age of sixty-four years from diabetes of two or three years standing. The deceased was born in Ireland in 1832 and came to this country nearly half a century ago. He has been long a resident of this city where he was universally respected by all with whom he had acquaintance. His wife and two daughters, Mrs. John Gillen and Maggie, at home, survive him. A brother, P.C. Jones, also survives him.

The funeral will be held from the family residence Friday morning with funeral services at the Sacred Heart cathedral. Interment will be at St. Marguerite's cemetery.
