The death of Miss Fay Jones, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Jones of near Conway, and granddaughter of Mr. and Mrs. G. R. Preston of Clarinda, is announced.   The "following obituary is copied from the  Clearfield Enterprise:
"Fay Jones, oldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Jones, was born near Yorktown, la, May 12, 1899, and departed this life on Jan. 23, 1919, age 19 years 8 months and 11 days. She lived with her parents in Page county until 10 years old, then the family moved to Decatur county, where they lived eight years, and moved to Taylor county in the year 1919, and have since made their home near Conway. Fay was sick only a few days. The influenza and pneumonia made her condition at once very serious and after all that medical aid and careful nursing could do for her, she answered the call of death. Indeed death seems to bring a sorrow we cannot bear, and especially when one so young is called from us, but it is a consolation to know that the Master is too good to be unkind to us and too wise to make a mistake. Fay had lived a good and consistent Christian life, and always enjoyed the service of church. She leaves to mourn their loss her twin brother, two sisters and three small brothers, her father and mother, and a host of friends. Funeral services were held last Sunday afternoon at her home north of Conway, Rev F.N. Redlinger officiating, and J. Ralph Crew of Clearfield directing undertaker.

At thirteen years of age she joined the Second Baptist church of Clarinda, and was a faithful worker as long as she belonged to it. She attended the rural school until advanced in her studies, and then attended the C. E. I., and received a certificate. She then went in search of a school, first to Omaha and while there she united with the Mt. Pisgah church in order to carry out her Christain duties, and was a faithful member and worker while there. She decided to go south, however, and readily found work in Stewartville, Mo. She, found, however, that she would have to attend the Lincoln Institute, owned and controlled by colored people, before she would be recognized as teacher in Missouri. So she at once started for there, on January 1,1900, to enter upon her first term. Before the expiration of that month her ability was so highly appreciated that she was appointed leader of the church choir, the church membership being five hundred. She taught a Sunday school class in the absence of Prof. Reynolds, and did such excellent work that she was given permanent charge of the class, which later won a banner in a bible contest, through her efforts. She also was appointed assistant matron in the institute. In this capacity she performed active work at different times. A photograph now at Park's gallery shows her in charge of the graduating class, as assistant matron. She was a faithful worker in everything she undertook, was bright in thought, and never forgot her Christian duties. In the last days of her life she called for prayer from the members of her household and friends and led the prayers herself. The family of Miss Jones wish to sincerely thank the kind friends who tendered sympathy and assistance in their bereavement, CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, May 18, 1900
