OBITUARY
On January 2nd, 1917, the death angel visited our home and took from us our dear mother Rachel Jones, who was ninety-six years, 2 month and 8 days old.
She was married to Darling Jones about January 10, 1836 and to this union were born eleven children: of those five have preceded her to the grave, leaving W. H. Jones, of Sidney, Nebraska; Nancy Woodward, of Piper, Kansas; Kate Sasser, of Mitchel, Oregon; E. D. and F. H. Jones, of Boering; Hannah Payne, of Carrol, Idaho, who still survive her.
She joined the Baptist church at Robinson Creek, Laurel County, about 1820 and lived a devoted Christian life for more than fifty-six years. In her death the church has lost one of its most highly esteemed members, the community a kind and loving neighbor, and her children one of their best earthly friends, but our loss is her eternal gain. Blessed are the dead that die in the Lord from henceforth; yea, saith the spirit that they may rest from their labors and their works do follow them.
It was hard indeed to part bur Christ's strong arm supported me, can I forget the agonizing hour when those loving eyes were closed to awake no more. Sleep on dear mother in quiet sleep, while friends in sin over thee weep.
A loving son
