Mrs. Parthenia Jones, 93 Years Old,
Died At Home of Her Daughter
----------
Mrs. Parthenia Jones, one of the oldest residents of this city, who had lived in Shelby county for more than 85 years, died at 3:15 o�clock Friday afternoon at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Dora Turner, 831 Meridian street. Her death was caused from a general complication of ailments brought on by her advanced age.
Becoming a resident of Shelby county 14 years after the county was established, Mrs. Jones was one of the few persons who could lately recall personal experiences in the growth and progress of the community. She was born July 13, 1830 in the state of Virginia and came to Shelby county when she was six years old. At her death she was ninety-three years, two months and sixteen days old. Her home had been in Shelby county ever since she moved here when a child.
Mrs. Jones was widely known and beloved by many. Her associations with the early history of the county gave her a place of distinction and honor and her death removed one of the fast disappearing links between the present and past generations.
Her nearest surviving relative is the daughter, Mrs. Dora Turner, with whom Mrs. Jones made her home. She also leaves four granddaughters, Mrs. W.J. Smith, of Connersville; Mrs. Rex Mood, of Kansas City, Kansas; Mrs. Earl Tadlock, of Richmond, Indiana, and Miss Florence Jones, of Albany, Indiana; one grandson, Howard Turner, of this city, eight great grandchildren. There is one great-great grandchild, Charles Howard Beckman, of Richmond.
Funeral services will be held at 2:00 o�clock Monday afternoon at the home. The Rev. L.C. Murr will officiate and burial will be made in Forest Hill cemetery.

----------------
George Smyth Jones, seventy years old, formerly a resident of this city and county, is dead at his home in Indianapolis, word of his passing away having been received here Tuesday night in a telegram to his brother-in-law, Harvey Cherry, south of the city. The telegram stated that the end came at the Deaconess hospital, where he had been a patient for the past three weeks. He had suffered for the past year from cancer of the face and his death was caused by complications brought on by the affliction. Mr. Jones had an extensive acquaintance in this city and county, where the earlier years of his active life were spent. He was a native of Kentucky but had come to Shelby county while still a young man. He taught school for several years in this county and was a man of splendid education. For some time he was prominent in the newspaper world locally and at one time was the editor of an independent paper in this city. He also published a small paper for a few years at Manilla. During his residence in this county he married Cynthia Cherry, daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Cherry. She survives him and he also leaves a son, Thomas, of Chicago, and two grandchildren, Misses Marie and Gladys Jones, daughters of Mrs. Charles Moberly, east of this city, and the late Marshall Jones. He has a number of brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law living in this county. Mr. Jones had been a resident of Indianapolis for the past twenty years and had been employed as a meat inspector in the large packing houses at that place. He was a veteran of the civil war. He drew a pension of considerable size on account of poor health that resulted from exposure while in the service of his country. In addition to this he commanded a good salary as an expert in the packing business and had accumulated valuable property in the capital city. The funeral services will be held at the house at two o'clock Friday afternoon and the interment will be made in Crown Hill cemetery.

DEATH OF MRS. JONES
----------
This Morning in San Antonio, Texas, After Lingering Illness.
------------
From Monday's Daily.
Mrs. Catherine Jones, widow of the late Dr. T. S. Jones, died at San Antonio, Texas, this morning at 8:30 o'clock, surrounded by her three children, Ethel M., William S. and Herbert C. Mrs. Jones has been in poor health for several years and since the death of her husband about three years ago, her health has steadily declined. Last fall she decided to go south to spend the winter in the hope that a change of climate would benefit her, but the king of terrors was not to be denied and, as above stated, death claimed her as his own this morning. Her daughter, Ethel, with all the love, and fidelity of a devoted daughter, gave up her position in the public schools in Shelbyville and went South with her mother to care for her and minister to her wants. The remains will be brought back here by the children and they expect to arrive here Wednesday and the funeral will probably occur on Thursday. The remains will be taken to her late residence, 112 south Harrison street, on arrival here.
Her maiden name was Catherine Struble. She was married to Dr. T. S. Jones at her home in Bartholomew county in 1878 and of this union three children are living, all of whom were with her at the time of her death. She was a member of the First M. E. church in this city and was a refined and lovely Christian woman.

THE LATE THOMAS JONES
Interesting Sketch of a Shelby County Pioneer, Recently Departed
------------
Thomas J. Jones, a pioneer of Noble township, Shelby county, was born in Monroe county, West Virginia on the 12th day of October, 1815. A few months later his father moved to Lewisburg, the county seat of Greenbrier county, and in the fall of 1828 he came with his father to Hamilton, Ohio, where he remained a few months. He then came with his father to Noble township, in this county, landing there during the early part of March 1829, and has lived in that township ever since, except a few months in Waldron. He remained with his father until his twenty-fourth year and helped on his father's farm. He then married Elizabeth Marsh on February 21, 1839 and settled in the woods to clear a farm for himself. In the fall of 1832 he joined the Newlight Church, and remained with that church until about ten years, after which he united with the Missionary Baptist church, and remained with it until his death on or about 51 years. Since he first joined church, he has had the settling of forty estates, twenty-three in Shelby, sixteen in Decatur, and one in Tipton county; has been guardian of twenty three wards; has served as justice of the peace sixteen and one-half years in Noble, and was re-elected in the spring of 1878, but in the fall of that year resigned the office. During the many years that he acted as justice of the peace, be had only one jury. The health of Mr. Jones had been declining for several years, but with remarkable fortitude and perserverance he bore up, though it was only with great effort that he could attend to his business affairs at times. On June 9th he was returning from his day's duties, when death met him very suddenly as he was riding by the residence of Thomas J. Mount in Noble township. He dropped dead suddenly in his buggy. This happened about 6 o'clock in the afternoon, and at the close of his valuable life he was exactly sixty-eight years, seven months and seventeen days old. He was a pure and self-sacrificing Christian throughout life, a kind and most affectionate husband and father, and was highly esteemed by all for his integrity and upright character. The church, the Sunday school and a wide circle of friends mourn his departure. Mr. Jones was the father of twelve children, of whom only three survive, these being one son and two daughters. Noble township never had a better citizen than "Uncle" Tommy Jones and it will be dificult to supply his place in business and social circles.

Elsewhere will be found a biographical sketch of the late Thomas J. Jones, who died suddenly in Noble township last Tuesday. A mournful interest will attach to this article when his friends learn that the first part was written before his death by Mr. Jones himself. It is as modest in its statements as Mr. Jones himself was in all his life work, and shows in few and simple words the industrious career of one of Shelby county's worthiest citizens. The part of the obituary notice written by Mr. Jones is reproduced in the Republican just as it came from his pen, with only a few verbal alterations. The last paragraph describing the time and manner of his death is furnished by one of his intimate friends. The editor of this paper was proud to number Mr. Jones among his warm friends and sincerely regrets his sudden taking off.
