Aunt Sally Jones Called.
Last Tuesday afternoon at 3 o’clock, Mrs. Sally Jones, widow of the late Elisha Jones, laid down the cares of this life, after a short illness.
Deceased was born at Gibson county, Tenn., March 20, 1839. She came with her parents to Utah in 1852 and five years later was married to Elisha Jones. In 1864 they moved to this valley since which time Heber has been her home. She has not only been a mother to eight children of her own, seven of whom are now living, but has been a mother to three other families of orphan children left to her motherly care.
Funeral services were held in the stake tabernacle yesterday afternoon. She leaves behind her seven children, a host of relatives and friends to mourn the loss of a kind and affectionate mother, an exemplary neighbor and a good and true friend to the poor and needy.
Her children and their families wish to thank the many friends who had aided them with so much kindness and sympathy in their hour of bereavement.

At the death of her husband, Elisha Jones, Sarah Ann Cummings Jones was mother to four different families, left with little of this world's goods to help raise these children. She had already cared for Elisha during the number of years he was helpless, Jacob during his sickness and death, and raised Caroline from the time her mother died when, she Caroline, was seven days old.
Each child from those four families say that she was the kindest mother you could have and they would be satisfied to belong to her in the next world. She not only cared for her own children and the other wives' children, but let her daughter Mary go and live with her parents, John and Rachel Canarda Cummings (known as Pap and Mam Cummings), to help keep house for them until Mary married. Then the other girls were sent one at a time to help her parents, as they were unable to care for themselves.
Her brother John Cumming's wife died and Sarah Ann ("Aunt Sallie") went to his home each day where she cooked, washed and cared for his family until he remarried.
When her parents became so old and she had no girls to let stay with them, she brought her father and mother into her own home and cared for them for three years. Pap Cummings was 93 years old and Mam Cummings was 83 years old. They were given great care. Pap was very deaf and Mam had a stoke, but Sarah Ann was always kind. She was very happy when all of her children came home with their babies.
Sarah Ann suffered a stroke and was partially helpless for some time before she died. Her daughter, Susie, cared for her as she had cared for her parents. She died in Heber City on September 18, 1909.
She was the mother of three sons and five daughters. One son died in infancy.
