OBITUARY
Margarette Jones died about 4 o'clock Saturday, May 7, 1904, aged 73 years, 6 months, and 9 days, and was borne to her last resting place, Monday, May 9, followed by the bereaved husband and family and many relatives and friends. She was born in Cass County, Illinois, and was married to Harvey Jones on October 20, 1854. They moved to Kansas in 1881 and settled in Pleasant township, their present home. At the age of sixteen she joined the Cumberland Presbyterian Church and was a member of Highland United Brethren Church at the time of her death.
The place left vacant in the home, in the community and in the Church can never be filled. "Aunt Mary" will be missed. The home has been a refuge for any seeking help or sympathy. So upright has been her life and so loveable her disposition that even the slandering tongue has been silenced. No one could think evil of "Aunt Mary" much less to speak it. She set us an example that is worthy, and though death she speaketh. She was one of those who carry "oil in their lamps" andthough the coming of the Bridegroom seemed unexpected she was prepared and has gone in to the marriage supper of the Lamb.
