"John O. Jones of 53 North Welles street passed away on Tuesday evening at 11
o'clock, and the remains will be buried in Hollenback Cemetery on Saturday afternoon
at 2 o'clock. Rev. Hugh Davis and Rev. John O. Jones of the Welsh Presbyterian Church
will officiate. Maneto Tribe 257, I.O.R.M., will have charge of the funeral. Mr. Jones
for many years attended the Welsh Presbyterian Church of this city, and was an earnest
Sunday school worker. He was a native of Trefrine, in North Wales, but had been a
resident of the United States for thirty years. He was a stone mason and had been
employed for a score of years by the L&W-B Coal Co. A few months ago he contracted a
cold, which settled on his lungs. This, with the trouble following the sudden death of
his only son, Owen D. Jones, the actor [articles on his death posted separately], brought
on his death."
