This community was completely shocked Tuesday (Oct.25) morning by the news of the death of Delbert Jones, a well-known resident of this community
Mr. Jones had been in poor health for sometime and was finally induced to enter the hospital last Saturday (Oct. 22), where it was learned he was suffering from carcinoma.
Mr. Jones was born at Blue Mound, April 23, 1873, and was 54 years, six months and two days of age. He had lived for many years in the Poplar Grove neighborhood and was a man much respected and loved by all and will be greatly missed by a large circle of relatives and friends. All extend sympathy to the family in their sorrow.
He is survived by his wife, Mrs. Nancy A. Jones; two sons, Carme Jones and Amel Jones and two grandchildren; also two brothers, Fred Jones, of Mapleton, and Elmon Jones; one sister, Mrs. Minnie Officer, Emmett, Idaho; besides an aged mother, Mrs. Jannette Reeder Jones.
He was preceded in death by his father, David Jones; and sisters Mary Oma Jones and Goldie Nettie Ashcraft
The funeral was held Thursday (Oct.27) afternoon from the Methodist church and was one of the largest in many months. Burial was in the Uniontown Cemetery.
