John E., son of Charley and Mollie Jones, was born at Indianapolis, Sept. 30, 1891; died at his home near New Ross after a short illness on the 8th inst., aged 9 years, 3 months and 8 days. This was the first link broken in a large and happy family.
John was a bright manly little fellow and was at school on Wednesday prior to the Wednesday he was laid to eternal rest. This should impress upon our minds that life is uncertain and death is sure, and teach us to live so that we are ready to meet the grim monster at any moment and enter into that haven of perfect rest as pure and holy as did this little child. This dear child was the namesake of his grandfather, John E. Jones, a well-to-do and highly respected old gentleman of Walnut Township, and he feels the loss as keenly as though it was his own child. In the presence of death there is only one comfort, and that is Jesus, who says that we will meet our loved ones again in that beautiful world where sorrow is unknown. -s
