Relieved at Last. /.

Mrs. Griffith Jones died at the home
of her daughter, Mrs. Il. Oldland, yes
terday morning little after O'Clock.
at the age Of 80 years and 4 days.
Deceased had been in poor health for
years past. but it was not until last De-
cember that any very serious sickness
set in. As her illness advanced cancer
developed, and everything that mortal
hands could do for her sufferings was
provided. In April she was taken to
st. Luke's hospital in Denver, where an
operation was performed, since which
time she has been resting comparatively
easy. Last Monday, however, a change
took place, her pains became excrutiat-
ing, followed by inconsistencies in
which condition she. remained till the
silent summons relieved her OF further
worldly cares.
Lettice Jones was born June %, 1si7,
In Wales, and some thirty sears .aQH
married Griffith Jones. The year fol-
lowing they came to America. and In
1884 settled on Piceance creek. Six
children were born to them. three of
whom survive with tho husband, viz ]:
Sarah, John and Howell, the first
named being the wife Of Reuben Old
land.
The funeral will take place this tSat-
urday) afternoon at $3.50 O'Clock from
st. James church. Owing to the ab-
sence OF Rev. Ostenson, Mr.. e. E.
Fordham has kindly consented to OH.
ciate.
