Riley Jones Dead.
On Jan. lfi, 1914, Riley W. Jones
died suddenly at his hime in the
north eastern part of the county. The
funeral and interemnt were at Mel
lanchton Lutheran church, attended
iby a large congregation of neighbors
and friends. He was a loyal and de-
voted member of this church, apillar
ar.d substantial supporter. One of
I the last acts of h;s life was to make
la contribution to his church.
I Mr. Jones was a substantial citizen,
an honest and truthful man. But per
haps the most marked trait of charac
ter was his ever open-door hospital
ity. In this he was- so free hearted
that none were ever turned away. His
latch string hung out for neighbor
and stranger alike. Even the tramp
was not sent from his door hungry.
Mr. Jones was a little more than 82
at his death; was married 56 years
ago to Miss Mary Staley, who pre
ceeded him some years ago to the oth
er world. There remains one son, Wm.
A. Jones, and three daughters, Mrs.
0. C. Johnson, Mrs. Martha J. Free
man and Mrs. D. I. Offman, also 12
grand children and five great grand
children.
