From Story County Watchman August 23, 1906

Marion Jones formerly a Story county farmer but of late living on a small farm near Hampton, Ia., was killed Saturday afternoon by the crane of a steam shovel falling on him. When he was dragged from under it he rose and said he was uninjured but fell almost immediately and soon expired. An examination showed that his chest had been crushed in.

SUBMITTER'S NOTE: According to WPA Records, Marion Jones was buried in the Maynes Grove Cemetery at Bradford, Franklin County, Iowa.
