Now this is history and I mean history. Mary Montfort Jones Obituary; There is lot's more for me to put down this is something yes it sure is. Listen to this as I put this down. Hear goes if you have tears to shed prepare to shed them now. Never was the electric chain wherewith we are darkly bound so keenly and so sternly smote as in the late lamented death of Mrs. Mary M. Jones a matron the perfection of whose character neutralizes the language of eulogy and silences the voice of praise. We bow in silent reverence at the mention of that venerated name and shrink in despair from the task of delineating the virtues which adorn it yet a heart that has long known and felt the soothing influence of those virtues whose darkest and dreariest shades have often been relieved by the halo that ever dwelt around her spirit would fain seek in the expression of its sorrow a temporary refuge from the grief which oppresses it. If ever the universal homage of the living was due to the memory of departed goodness hers cannot fail to command all hearts that beat and breathe within that sphere to which her genius moved and shone. The spirit of an angel clothed with the habiliments of mortality she seemed a link between the frail creatures of the earth and the beings of superior bourne. There was one of those heads which guide has often painted mild plain penetrating free from all commonplace ideas of fat contented ignorance looking downwards on the earth it looked forward but looked as if looking at something beyond this world. That picture is a picture of Willie Jones Mary M. Jones husband. Put down by Charles O'Shields.
