November 5, 1878 --- June 20, 1938
Ed L. Jones, a farmer of the south Hamilton district, died at the Daly hospital Monday night from effects of a chronic ailment that necessitated amputation of his leg to halt gangrene. The amputation was made Sunday, but the inroads of the poisoning had gained too much headway and death resulted. Mr. Jones came here about two years ago from the Blackfoot valley. He had ranched there about five years after moving west from Rygate, where he lived several years. He had followed farming throughout his life and his home here was the small truck and fruit ranch which he purchased from Roy Moore.
Born November 5, 1878 at Platteville, Wisconsin, Mr. Jones was nearing his sixtieth year. Surviving family members are the wife, and a son Rex of Hamilton, and a son Robert, who arrived Tuesday from his home at Helmville for the last rites. Funeral services were held yesterday afternoon at the Dowling chapel with an old-time friend, Mrs. Rose Williams of Rygate giving the last tribute. Pallbearers were Otto and Dick Kent, Joseph Gaffney, Charles Clements, J. E. Dresel and Hugh MacMillan. Burial was in Riverview Cemetery.
