Sarah Ann Jeanette Hume, daughter of the late Robert W. and Sarah Ann Scholes Hume, was born in Moundville, Wisconsin November 18. 1868. Nettie, as she was always called, grew to womanhood in this community and was married to Henry E. Jones, December 18, 1889. Immediately following their marriage, they began home making on the farm where they have resided continuously except for a few years spent in Washington and California. To this union eight children were born: Pearl Eliza, who died at 4 years of age, Robey (Mrs. W. E .Maltbey) Hume, Everett, Lois (Mrs. Marvin Harvey) and Harlan, all married and living in California; Merrill Robert, died at 3 years, and George Walker, at 14 months also preceded their mother in death. A busy useful life was hers, her strength and inspiration given freely with no thought of reward. Faithfulness, courage, humility, friendliness were her characteristics. Mrs. Jones possessed to a marked degree a deep and abiding faith in Jesus Christ which gave to her life poise and direction and the peace that passeth understanding. Early in life she joined the M. E. Church of Moundville, where she was active in all departments, but the application of principles of Christianity in the every day life was her chief concern. Coming back to Moundville for the summer, after three years in California, Mrs. Jones seemed especially happy to visit with relatives. Then swiftly and quietly she passed away at 12:30 Monday morning, July 13. Services were held Friday, July 17, at 2:30 p.m. at Moundville M.E. Church, Rev. F. W. Heberlein officiated. Mrs. Blanche Powell, accompanied by Miss Ruth Scholes, sang "one Sweetly Solemn Thought" and "Sweetly Resting." The body was laid to rest in the family plot in Moundville Cemetery.
