Joe Jones Dead
Sooner than was expected this young man died at the home of J. B. Gould at White Rock yesterday. He was a victim of the deadly disease, diabetes, and no hope of his recovery was extended. Joe Jones was a Boulder county boy, born, we believe, in this county about 30 years ago. The pioneers and his many friends will attend his funeral at Mr. Gould's place at 10 o'clock today. Deceased was a son of uncle Tommy Jones, a former resident, now residing in Larimer county. His mother was at his bedside at the last hour.
