Josephine Jones
The Trull neighborhood lost one of its honored residents Friday when Mrs. Josephine Jones passed away at 8:25 p. m. She had been bedridden for several weeks, being attended by a nurse most of the time, and though her friends knew her condition was serious, her death was a blow to everyone. Mrs. Jones was known for her kind and helpful spirit, and her death marks a real loss to her many friends.
Josephine Thorpe was born at Marshaline, Iowa, in 1850. She was a member of a large family, having several brothers and sisters. She was married In Missouri and later came west. She was the mother of six children, four of whom are living. One son, Samuel, lived with her on their homestead. The whereabouts of another son are unknown, but the two other children were present—Mrs. Minnie Seeley of Grand Junction, and Mrs. DeCora. In addltion to the children, her niece, Mrs. Wise, and her family, were present at the funeral, together with many friends in the neighborhood.
The services were held at the Methodist church at 2 o'clock and interment made in the Steamboat cemetery. Music was furnished by members of the Elk Mountain grange, of which Mrs. Jones was a member, and by B. G. Bradley. The grange sent a beautiful floral tribute in token of tho esteem in which Mrs. Jones was held in the community.
