Died

Beriah L. Jones died very
suddenly at the home of his
daughter, Monday evening,
May 9Th, 1912.
He was born May 25th, 1914,
at Cornwall, Vermont. He
grew to manhood there and
later came to Chicago, III. He
was married to Edith M. Cofl-
man, Nov. "a, 1868, at Rutland,
Ill. Twelve children were
born to this union. Nine sur
vive, seven daughters and two
sons, three having died in in
fancy, three grandchildren and
one sister. His wife preceded
him to the beyond Nov. 18th,
1895, at their home near Iowa
Falls and was buried at Pleas
ant Ridge, Franklin County,
Iowa.
Beriah L. Jones came to this
place about two years ago from
Iowa Falls, where he had resid-
ed for "a years where he farm
ed extensively and was a large
land owner. He has always
been an active man until the
last three months he has been
afflicted with dropsy which
caused his death that came
very unexpected Monday even
ing as he was sitting in his
chair. His daughters hardly
realized when the change came
as he passed away so peace
fully.
Beriah Jones was a faithful
member of the Baptist church
until the time of his marriage
when he united with the Metho-
dist Episcopal church in which
he was an earnest worker, al
ways uplifting his associates to
a higher walk of life, and was
ever cheerful, even under the
most trying circumstances, en-
during his final sickness with
grace and unfailing faith in
Christ whom he has gone to
meet. He lived a truly chris
tian life; at peace with all his
neighbors and always ready to
lend a helping hand and will be
greatly missed by his family
and all who knew him. The
funeral was held at Calhoun
school house Wednesday, May
9Th, 1912. Sermon preached by
Rev. Herbert Dack, of Mo. Val
LEY. Burial was in Calhoun
cemetery. All of the children
and one grandchild were pres
ent at the funeral. ~
