Sitting in Chair Death Summons Lemuel W. Jones
Death summoned Lemuel Jones, 71, pioneer postmaster and storekeeper of Paha Monday
evening about 6:30, as he sat in his kitchen in the living rooms at the rear of his little store.
Mr. Jones, who had been in poor health for a long time, made up the evening mail as had
been his custom for years, had taken it and hung the sack on the accustomed hook to be picked up
by the evening train. Returning to the store, Mr. Jones complained of not feeling well and
remarked that he thought he would go to bed. Entering he kitchen he sat down in a rocker. A few
minutes later he was discovered dead.
The funeral was conducted Thursday morning from Ritzville Methodist church, and the body
was taken to Spokane for interment in the Greenwood cemetery. M. F. Haight of Ritzville had
charge of the arrangements.
Mr. Jones was born in Warren county, Ill., near Cameron, May 24, 1860. He lived at Cameron
until he was 21, when he came west to Hunters. Wash. There he met and married Eunice B. Hamilton.
Immediately after their marriage they moved to Spokane and later established their permanent home
at Paha, where for 33 years Mr. Jones had a general merchandise store. Mrs. Jones passed away
May 13, 1930.
Deceased is survived by two daughters, Una and Georgia, at home; one brother, a banker
in Yuma, Ariz., and six grandchildren.
