The Springs Valley Herald (February 13, 1919) reported "Rachel Jones, daughter of Joel G. and Mary Jones, was born in Martin County, Indiana, July 2, 1863 and departed this life February 8th, 1919, aged 55 years, 7 months and 6 days. Her early life was spent near the scenes of her birth and here she grew to womanhood. She was married to Miles Roland, April 1st, 1888. To this union were born four children as follows: Homer of St. Louis, Mo., Austin of Louisville, Ky., Orville with the American Army in Germany and Grace Evelyn still at home. She was also the mother to three children of her husband by a former marriage, Mrs. John Peterson of St. Louis, Mo., Charles E. Roland of Indianapolis and Mrs. Ethel Bruner of Clark, Montana, all of whom seemed as near as her own. The family moved to French Lick about twenty-four years ago where they have since lived and where the children have all come to maturity, save the youngest. In her early life she united with the Christian Church and when the First Christian church was organized at French Lick she and her husband became charter members and her membership continued in that church until she was called to the Church triumphant. She was the best and highest sense a wife and mother, and was always found looking to the comfort of her loved ones and her loss will be keenly felt. She was of a retiring disposition, but one who made many and lasting friends as she always spoke kindly of everyone. for some years her health had not been good and she was compelled to remain closely at home where she bore her burdens cheerfully. She was one of many mothers who have been called upon to give of her son to her country and almost two years ago she bade goodbye to her youngest, to send him if need be, to give his life for the case of humanity. Her last days were full of anxiety for Orville and she called for him many times, but God has willed it otherwise. A good woman, a devoted wife and dear mother has been called from us to a better and richer life in the great beyond, but her memory will linger still. Besides her children, she leaves a husband and aged mother, four grandchildren, two brothers, John J. Jones of French Lick and Jerry who lives in Kansas, a sister Mrs. George Roland of this county all of who with many friends will greatly mourn her loss."
