R. "Ted" Jones, of Putnam Avenue, attended the funeral at St. James Episcopal church at 2:30 o'clock Sunday afternoon. The edifice was crowded long before the arrival of the cortege and all united in paying a loving tribute to the memory of the departed. Services were conducted by the Rev. H. L. Hadley, pastor of the St. James church. Several beautiful selections were given by the church choir. The body was laid to rest in Woodlawn Cemetery. The local Lodge of Elks conducted their ritual at the grave. A large number of Mr. Jones's relatives and friends from Columbus attended the funeral including Mayor James Thomas, nephew of Mr. Jones. Friends from other cities also attended the services. Mr. Jones was vice president of the Elks Home Company and the following memorial was adopted by the company. "Whereas Brother Jones was one of the charter members of the Elks Home Co and the vice president and director from its inception. Whereas his advice and counsel was always sought and through his efforts the successful construction of the Elks building was largely due, therefore: Be it resolved that while we regret the taking of this brother from our midst, we submit to the will of the All Wise Providence in the faith that He 'doeth all things well' and that our sincere sympathy be extended to the widow who has suffered the greatest loss and that we assure her of our continued interest, that we renew our obligation to keep green in our memories the noble characteristics of the departed and that these resolutions be spread upon minutes and a copy sent to the bereaved widow."
