ISAAC JONES "Mrs. Anne Jones of North Meade street died yesterday of paralysis after a brief illness, aged 73 years. She was highly respected on the Heights, and was a life long member of the Welsh Presbyterian Church. She survived her husband, the late Isaac Jones, three years. She died in her own house surrounded by a large adult family of sons, daughters and grand children as follows: Merchant Jonathan Jones of the Heights; contractor Thomas E. Jones; Joshua Jones and Richard Jones of Dorranceton; Evan Jones, a farmer at Spring Brook, Lackawanna County; merchant Isaac Jones of Kingston; Mrs. Henry Robinson of the Heights; Mrs. Griffith Dougher of Spring Brook; and Mrs. Daniel Davis, who resided with her. She and her husband came to the United States eight years ago from Rhandirmyr, Wales, where they owned and cultivated an extensive farm, but their children having emigrated, some of them over a quarter of a century ago, they sold their farm and purchased a farm at Spring Brook, where they lived until the death of Mr. Jones, three years ago. Mrs. Jones then sold the farm and removed to this city. The funeral will take place this morning. The remains will be taken to Spring Brook on the W.B.&E.R.R., where obsequies will be conducted by Rev. W.H. Williams of this city. Interment in Spring Brook Cemetery." Nancy Cook Pasadena, MD, USA
