Jones, and a resident of this city for forty years, died at 11:50 Sunday forenoon of abcess in the brain, at St. Thomas hospital where she had been a patient since Oct. 5.

With her parents she moved to this city in 1883 and here she was married to Charles H. Jones, April 19, 1900. During the war Mr. Jones served at Dayton, O. in the United States naval ordnance arsenal, and after returning home ill, died at Logansport, Ind., Feb. 4, 1919.

C.. and E. L. Williams, city; Mrs. R. S. Patterson, Davenport and Mrs. C. A. Berggren, Los Angeles.

David L. Jones Dies After Long Illness
David L. Jones, a resident of Marshalltown for 49 years, died at 5:45 o'clock Monday afternoon at St. Thomas Mercy hospital, death being due to debility of age.
Mr. Jones had been in failing health for four years and he had been cared for at the hospital during the entire time. He was confined to his bed only a short
time before he entered the hospital and two weeks prior to his death.
Mr. Jones was born in Wayne county, Ohio, June 10, 1842, the son of Eli and
Julia Jones. In 1855 the family moved to Iowa, settling at Davenport. After
a short residence there they moved to Illinois and a short time after returned
to Iowa, living in different places until 1886, when Mr. Jones came to Marshalltown.
Mr. Jones enlisted at the first call for service with the northern army
in the Second Iowa volunteer infantry but was sent home on account of illness.
When he recovered he re-enlisted in Company B, Sixty-fifth Illinois infantry,
as a private. He was discharged in March, 1864, as a duty sergeant,
at Knoxville, Tenn.
He was married to Miss Julia A. Forman, at Edgeton, Ill., in 1869. Mr.
and Mrs. Jones were parents of four children, two of whom, Roland C. and
L. F. Jones of this city, survive. A daughter, Mrs. Charles Finders, died at
Ferguson
in 1914, and a son, Charley Jones, died in service during
the world war. Mrs. Jones died in February, 1898.
In addition to the two sons, Mr. Jones is survived by 12 grandchildren
and eight great-grandchildren. He was the last member of his family. He was
