MILO. March 2. wave of profound sorrow
passed over this town Thursday morning when
It became known that DR.. Albert Mark Jones
had passed away early in the morning aftef an
illness of less than week with pneumonia
The deceased was only thirty mine years of
age at the time of his unexpected demise, and
a host of friends join with his relatives in
mourning the loss of a good physician, public
spirited citizen and true friend. DR.. Jones
was born in the town of Brooks, and was edu-
Gated in the public schools of that town; grad
uated from Maine Central Institute and from
Bates college in the class of 1900, and in 1904
from the Maine Medical college, and spent a
couple of years at the Eastern Maine General
hospital in Bangor before engaging in the
practice of his chosen profession.
In 1905 he opened an Office in this town in
the Dutch & Thompson block, and being
thoroughly grounded in the principles of his
profession; of kindly genial disposition, and
always ready to heed the call of the sick, he at
once met with success. Later he had an office
in the Bank block, and finally two years ago he
purchased the Daggett place on Main street,
where he has since resided and had his Office.
OF an energetic and untiring nature, the good
physician undoubtedly over-worked healing
the sick and needing not his own tired body.
He was anxious to make mark In his profess
sion and his ambition was gratified, for he was
i obi ri ,hNyoIr IQ M
surgeon, and in many homes in this vicinity
his death will be sincerely regretted, and his
CHEEKY presence missed by many an invalid,
who welcomed the coming Of one who always
had cheerful word, which came from kind
heart. He married Miss Ellie q. Written of
this town, September ., l9Oo, and one son has
been born to them and the sympathy of the
entire community goes out to the heart broken
young wife and infant child.
The deceased was an active member of the
Free Baptist church, a member of Piscataquis
lodge of Free and Accepted Masons,
member of Banner Tent, No. "a, Knights of
the Maccabees of the World and of the N E. Q.
P. In his death, the towns mourns the loss of
one of its most valued citizens and it seems
strange that young man, so full OF activity
and engaged in good work, should be SO sud-
denly taken from our midst, but the Great
Physician knoWeth best, and he has been sum-
moned to receive the eternal reward which
comes to those who walk in the footsteps of
the Master, and in his short life he accom-
plished much, which will always keep green
his memory in the hearts of many warm
friends He was one of the local officers in
the Boy Scouts of America, taking an active
interest in the movement, and giving valuable
time to instructing the boys, and his death was
a great blow to them. Funeral services will
be held Sunday afternoon in the Free Baptist
church and the members of the Masonic lodge
will attend in body, as will also the members
of the Boy Scouts of America.
By the death of DIR. A. M. Jones in Milo
Brooks loses one of the very brightest of the
many prominent men who have been born in
town. He had been during all the years of his
boyhood model of perfection and was loved
by everybody. He was born on farm in West
Brooks, the son of John D. and Rebecca Jones,
and lived here until he started in his outside
school life at the M. C. Institute in Pittsfeld
From that time until his death there was no
let up. 1t was work and study for his chosen
profession. He was without doubt one of the
best fitted physicians and surgeons in the State
as far as education went. His last work in this
town was as teacher in the schools of this
village, where he is lovingly remembered. He
had patiently fitted himself by years of prepa-
ration for useful life and it is much to be
regretted that he should have been taken
away after so short period of actual work in
his profession. We unite with Milo in sorrow
for his death.
