Will be Missed.
1t will be difficult for the Rutledge
community to become accustomed to
the vacancy that has been made by
the sudden passing of Mrs. Jones who
was of quiet and retiring DISPOSE
ton seldom seen on the village streets
except while going to church and al
ways on hand when sickness and need
made her presence a blessing. She
seemed to always know when and
where she was needed and once as
sured of this need she freely gave of
her time and means to alleviate suf-
fering and to bring cheer. She was
staunch member of the Christian
church but for the lack of her be-
loved church in the community where
she lived, she affiliated herself with
the Methodist denomination and par
TALLY, largely through her jealous and
ceaseless efforts the continuance of
that church was realized in the Rut-
ledge community. Her memory will
long remain with the clergy and
church workers for the hospitality
shown and for her Christian en-
deavors.
That Mrs. Jones enjoyed host of
admiring and loving friends was fur
ther evidenced by the beautiful floral
offerings and the very large attend
ance at her funeral which caused the
church to be filled and many to be
left outside. Her exemplary life will
long be guiding hand for those who
knew her well and her preparedness
to meet the call of her Maker will al
ways stand out in that memory as
most sacred
Memorial Service Sunday.
A service in memory of Mrs Dora
Jones and Mrs. Frances Lovejoy,
mother of Mrs. Pearl Jones of the
Rutledge community, who passed
away at the home of daughter in
Watertown, Wis. and was buried Mon

Sunday. This service was conducted
by the Rev. B. Lambert, district super
intendent, and was another evidence
OF the esteem in which the deceased
ladies were held in the Rutledge
community considering the large
crowd present. About twenty-five i'm
mediate relatives attended this serv-
ice at which Miss Wrasper at the or
gan and Clarence Cox at the cornet
furnished special music.
At the funeral of Mrs. Jones We'd
nesday, the Rev. E. A. Cooke of Bar
mum, officiated and the grandchildren
of the deceased, Clinton Jones, Elmer
Nelson, Clarence, Cleo, and Raymond
Cox and Kenneth Cox of Pine City,
acted as pallbearers. Mrs. L. Smith
presided at the organ, Mrs. Hoglund

Away" and Mrs. Wickstrom and Miss

Mrs. Jones Was 81.
Mrs. Dora Jones was born in Indi-

Gregor
Would Have Celebrated Golden
Wedding.
Had Mrs. Jones lived until March
she would have celebrated the fif-
tieth anniversary of her marriage to
Lewis Jones but the hand of death
descended too suddenly and the couple
was not to enjoy this rare and happy
day. Mrs. Jones had resided with her
husband in the Rutledge community
for "a years and the accompanying
picture shows her with her husband.
Deep sympathy is extended to the
bereaved relatives by the many
friends and neighbors in the 'commun-
ity and by the American IN their hour
of great sorrow.
