MRS. J.R. JONES DIES AT ADRIAN.
MOTHER OF COUNTY ATTORNEY E.J. JONES DIES.
Well Respected Woman Succumbs to General Paralysis After Long Illness.

To the Adrian Democrat are we indebted for the following account of the death, burial and obituary of the late Mrs. James R. Jones, mother of County Attorney E.J. Jones.

Mrs. James R. Jones died at her home in Adrian, Saturday night, October 2nd, aged 67 years, 2 months and 18 days. Her health failed about three years ago and general paralysis gradually developed. Until very recently, however, she was able to go out on short drives and to be wheeled about in her chair. But it was long ago known to her family and friends that her case was hopeless, and thus her death was not unexpected.

The funeral was held from their residence at two o'clock Tuesday afternoon Rev. William Backus, Unitarian, of Minneapolis, delivering a cultured and comforting discourse. The attendance was large and many were unable to find room in the house, but remained on the lawn. Many beautiful floral offerings were brought or sent by friends.

At the cemetery the services were in charge of Eureka Chapter O.E.S., of which decedent had long been a prominent member.

Annie Higgins was born in Stratsbury, Ireland July 14, 1842, and came to America with her parents in 1859 and settled in Dodgeville, Wisconsin, where she married James R. Jones on March 2nd, 1870.

Six children were born to them viz: Mary, May E. (Mrs. J.C. Becker) and Edwin J. Jones were born at Dodgeville, Wisconsin; William A. and Pearl E. (Mrs. W.J. Thompson) were born at Bigelow, Minnesota, and Ethel A. was born at Adrian.

Mary died in infancy at Dodgeville and William A. died in infancy at Bigelow.

The family moved from Dodgeville, Wisconsin to Bigelow, Minnesota, in March 1856, and from Bigelow to Adrian in October 1879.

She is survived by her husband and four children, all residing at Adrian, except Edwin J. Jones who resides at Worthington, Minnesota; also by an adopted son Alfred M. Feathers who resides at Lismore, Minnesota and by four brothers, Robert and Thomas Higgins, California, James Higgins of St. Louis and Edwin Higgins of Kansas City.

Mrs. Jones was one of the best of women, and her death is deeply mourned, not only by her husband and children but by all who knew her well in the community in which she lived so long.

Mother of Mrs. G.W. Hill Dying
