Jones, died Wednesday forenoon at the Albany City hospital, from an attack of influenza and pneumonia. He had been with the Home Guards in Albany for some months, and the first notification of his illness was a telegram received Friday afternoon, stating that he was critically ill. A letter had been received from him a few days previous, at which time he was apparently well. His mother left on the evening train north, and managed to reach Albany about 5 the next morning. He was unconscious at that time, and remained in that condition until his death. Arvon was a pleasant, intelligent lad, who enlisted in the Home Guard because it was the only method by which he could partially satisfy his yearning to be in the service of his country. he had an intense desire to see foreign service, which he years, he was but eighteen, forbade. Besides his parents he is survived by two brothers, Llewelyn and William, both of Granville .
