Soon after moving to town Dill had a new brick and stucco home...a fine home...built across the street south, on the corner...it still stands in 1988, diagonally across the street from the Methodist church. His old office building still stands in 1988, a bit decrepit, but lived in, first building south of the post office; one empty lot between. It faces east.
The Jones family was great friends with and dined a lot with the Mills family in Murdock. Doc's wife Hariett died at 6 AM on a Sunday in their new home (the stucco house he built for the family) just 2 weeks after they moved into that new house. She died of Typhoid Fever. Her funeral was in the Methodist Church in Murdock.
Dr. Jones' first name is spelled Issac on his tombstone, but everywhere else it it is spelled Isaac. His grave is near the northwest edge of the cemetery at the western edge of Ashland, NE.
Dill's first wife was Nellie Stanton; nothing is known of her. His 2nd and 3rd wives, Harriett and Edna, were sisters. Edna, after being widowed, moved to Beatrice, NE where for many years she operated a dress shop.
Dill died of Bright's disease, having suffered from it for a long time. His funeral was in Murdock, NE. In 1989 Mrs. Lyle Stock, Rt. 1, Bx 112, Murdock, NE, wrote saying she thought she was related to Doc Jones and wanted information. I answered and asked her for more information. Her name is Margaret Stock. I know nothing more than that.
Dill Jones had a son by his first wife, Nellie. He was Vernon. Dill and Nellie were divorced by 1900. Dill's grand niece, Angie Carlsen Cook Moist (whose grandfather, John Montgomery Jones of Ord, NE was Dill's brother) said that in her childhood home in Ord (Angie lived for some years with her grandparents John and Martha Jones) that the family talk was that Dill Jones had married, first, to an Ord, Nebraska girl -- that she worked to put Dill through medical school, after which he divorced her to marry another woman, who became his second wife. That first wife must have been Nellie, and the second Harriett.
