Hi Deborah, I would like to confirm that the information I have is correct. Also, it would be helpful to have the spouses names for the children and siblings. The information is for a book about the people buried at the Arvonia cemetery which will be used by the Osage County Historical Society. Family lore and military service would also be helpful.

Matt has been living, until recently, at Eldora, Iowa. He is a young man of good habits and many friends.

There were some cattle in it at the time, which escaped injury, though the barn was spintered and blown all over the country. Matt JONES, who has been living at Eldora, Iowa, for about a year, returned to Carbondale on Tuesday and will probably remain here.

Two graves were opened and a number of bones found, but of little value, being badly decayed.
