 In the number of hearts, to which this epitome of a life ended in the flesh has brought sorrow and tears, rests the sweetest offering and tribute
 to the departed, surpassing even the beauty and simplicity of flowers that have been laid with tender sentiment upon her casket. What winner of friendships is virtue clothed in char lty, what a commandg of respect and love IS nobility of character In the life of this one laid to rest till the awakening morn, acts of kindness and love were profusely streWn about her pathway. They were from the heart and taken as such by the world. For this reason, does grief fill the hearts of those dear to her by family ties and the bond of friendship.
 For the past year, the deceased bad not enjoyed good health and for sev- eral weeks prior to her departure from here on the second of June for her fathers home at Maryville, she had been sick internationally. Not long after reaching home, her life was almost despaired Of by complete physical breakdown. Then came a brief and short lived recuperation, during which she was removed to St. Louis, that specialists might lend their skill toward her recovery. Several days ago, a perceptible de- cline set in and the cad came as stated

 LIFE OF DECEASED. Miss Ida Jones, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William R. Jones was born
 in Jacksonport April 17th, 1859, which | was her home except for time spent
 away at school until 1880 Her edu-
 cation was received at Jacksonport,
 Maryville and Louisville.
 | December 1, 1880, she, was married
 to MT. J. R. Cox, and until six years
 ago, they lived on his farm near Diaz,
 removing to Newport that year.
 Early in life, she was confirmed in
 the Episcopal church, of which de-
 nomination she proved staunch and
 jealous member. Yet it cannot be
 said of her that she was narrow in
 her Christianity. The humanitarian
 spirit was deeply rooted in her heart
 She loved the poor as well as rich and
 her sympathy went out to those in
 sickness, grief and other distress.
 Nor did she ever allow good resolu- l tions and noble impulses to lie dorm
 ant. Her heart was both easy to
 touch and quick to respond.
 One brother, MT. Gustave Jones and
 two sisters Mrs. J. B. Newman and
 Miss Mollie Jones of Maryville, Mis-
 souri, together with father, mother
 and husband survive the departed
 one and to them in their sorrow is ex-
 tended the sympathy of many friends. 1 ''So dear to heaven is saintly chastity, l That when a soul is found sincerely so, | thousand liveried angels lacky her, | Driving far off each thing of sin and guilt
