The Daviess County Democrat, Washington, Indiana, March 22, 1879, page 4:
"DIED.
JONES - At the residence of her mother in this city, March 15, 1879, Miss Mamie JONES,
Consumption.
The deceased was a daughter of Mrs. Eliza JONES. She was universally loved for her
amiability, loveliness and charming manners. For some time before her death her friends
saw that the king of terrors, who is said to love a shining mark, had marked her for his
own, and that she must soon depart to join a beloved sister who had been smitten by the
same dread disease. Fair and delicate as a lily, she also resembled that flower in purity
and beauty. Her death is a severe blow to her mother and brother, and she will be missed
by scores of young friends among whom she was a general favorite."
