Obituary,

DIED. Tuesday morning, January
u, 1897, Mrs. Lewis Jones, aged 5S
years, 3 months and % days.
The deceased was born Susan E.
ESSelStyn at Hudson, n. Y, July II,
1913. She removed with her parents
to Wisconsin in 1850, and was edu-
Gated at Richland Center High school.
She was married to Capt. Lewis Jones
October. 1868. They moved to Re-
public county, Kansas. in 1875, and
thence to Trego county in 1886, where
they lived upon farm until two
years ago. when they moved to this
city for the purpose of educating their
younger children. She was the mother
of five children, two of whom, Mrs.
Charles Karr and son, Herbert, pre-
coded her to the spirit land.
Mrs. Jones, when living in Wis
conSin. was a member of the Metho-
Il letter before coming to Kansas. She
was above the average in education
and of literary tastes, sometimes
writing poetry. As a neighbor and
friend she was of very generous dis
position, and to her family a devoted,
faithful wife and mother.
The Immediate cause of her death
was pneumonia, with which disease
she had but short Illness of five
days. She leaves her husband, one
son and two daughters to mourn their
| irreparable loss. The funeral SER
vices were conducted by Rev. Brown
at the Presbyterian church on
| Wednesday, and interment was in the
Wa-Keeney cemetery.
The sincere sympathy of large
circle of friends is extended to the
bereaved family, who wish us to re-
turn their thanks for the help and
consolation given them.

Their fleece is not "as white as snow

He was not ''born at Bingen-at Bingen

The girls don't speak in calico, the boys

They've changed the old-time d resses

They smile and speak in ancient Greek.

And you cant half see the speaker for the

And the wind sweeps round the gables
with low and mournful whine

this source of supplies must be exhausted
in a week or two at most, and then weyler

extend to our consuls and other citizens

benefit to them when that day arrives:
but probably it is waste Of ink and
paper to further call the attention Of the
Hanna Administration to their sad plight.

each.
