near midnight, the boatman nut out
for that other shore with one of earth :

Of life are left upon this side to feel
how great is our loss. The radiance
of that Home Beyond has gained an
other glory, however. for our dear
one is among the loved on the other
side. With a nature SO unselfsh, to
seek the happiness of others and to
find, her own in doing her highest
duty, she gave no thought to herself.
When her appearance would justify
her family and friends to ask concern
ing her health she always sought to
assure them that she felt perfect
we'll. About two years ago she suf-
fered severe attack of grippe and 1t
was from this that her condition
gradually became critical. The
anemc conditions which so stealthily
and perniciously become settled in her
system were deep rooted before there
came any warning note. A dilated
heart also added grave dangers to her
condition and she was not able to
leave her bed during the last three
weeks of her life Miss Beckwith
has been constant in her care as nurse
during the past two weeks while Miss
Palmer. nice of Mrs. Jones has also
been by her bedside with the other
members of the family. There was
no pain, only the feeling of being SO
tired. All that could be done was
,bo
ed to that other country where there
is no death, neither sickness and
where there is nothing to make afraid.
Mrs Jones who was siXty-four years
old was the youngest daughter of the
late Mr.. and Mrs. Bernoie Eaton and
has always lived upon the old family
homestead. Early in life she follow
Ell teaching for several years but
about thirty years ago she was united
in marriage to Calvin H. Jones, who
died about fifteen years ago. To this
couple was born one son. Wallace E.
Jones who with his wife and little son
Vaughan haze made the last years Of

vice. Mrs. Jones has always been y
member of the Athens Grange since
it was instituted and has always held
some important Office. At the time of
her death she was secretary, an Office
which she had filled most acceptably
for years. She was always source
of strength in the organization as she
knew more about the order than any
other member. At the Fairs she al
ways held responsible positions on
committees and wherever her influence
was felt order reigned. She was also
reelected secretary and treasurer of
