Jones of 53 North Welles street passed away on Tuesday evening at 11 o'clock, and the remains will be buried in Hollenback Cemetery on Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock. Rev. Hugh Davis and Rev. John O. Jones of the Welsh Presbyterian Church will officiate. Maneto Tribe 257, I.O.R.M., will have charge of the funeral. Mr. Jones for many years attended the Welsh Presbyterian Church of this city, and was an earnest Sunday school worker. He was a native of Trefrine, in North Wales, but had been a resident of the United States for thirty years. He was a stone mason and had been employed for a score of years by the L&W-B Coal Co. A few months ago he contracted a cold, which settled on his lungs. This, with the trouble following the sudden death of his only son, Owen D. Jones, the actor [articles on his death posted separately], brought on his death." Nancy Cook Pasadena, MD, USA
