Her four sons were all present at the funeral, the first time they have met in forty years. Mrs. Jones was the mother of ten children, the grandmother of 81 children, and the great-grandmother of 25 children, only eleven of whom have died, so there are fifty-five children, grandchildren, and great-grand children living.

Mrs. Elizabeth Jones died in South Bend, Indiana, early in October. She was the relic of the late Nicholas Jones, who lived on Butternut Ridge and died there twenty years ago or more. Mrs. Jones was widely known among the old residents of this vicinity, though she outlived most of her contemporaries, being eighty-four years and upward at time of death. She was the mother of Mr. Samuel F Jones, of Butternut Ridge, and Mrs. Ann Rector of Norwalk.
