MRS. MINNIE A JONES
Mrs. Minnie A. Jones, daughter of John A. and Polly Slack, after more than a year’s suffering from diabetes suddenly passed away Sunday morning, June 9, 1907, at Yuba City, Cal., where she was visiting relatives with the hope of regaining her health. She was accompanied by her aged mother, who also hoped to be benefited by the trip. They were just making arrangements to return to their home at Corvallis, when she was suddenly taken ill. Her mother realizing that the end was near immediately telegraphed the situation to the family at home. Jasper Slack, her son, by private conveyance reached Missoula in time to board the 11 o’clock west bound train Saturday night, but early Sunday morning about 10 o’clock Minnie passed to the land beyond. News of her death reached the family at home sometime later in the day. Jasper did not reach Yuba City until sometime Tuesday, starting back with her remains Thursday morning, reaching Corvallis Sunday evening. They were met at the station by many sorrowing friends who followed her remains to the home of her childhood.
Mrs. Jones was born in Corvallis, Mont., Dec. 16, 1868, and united with the Christian church in Corvallis Feb. 1886 in a meeting held by the writer assisted by J.L. Phoenix, who at that time was located at Missoula. She was married to William C. Jones Sept. 19, 1887 and to this union were born two daughters, Bernice and Edna. Bernice dying in infancy. Her husband was called to his reward in 1891, and since that time she has remained a widow.
She was 38 years and some months old at the time of her death. Her aged mother was the only member of the family that was with her when the end came. She was a devoted Christian, an obedient daughter, a loving sister and a kind and indulgent mother. She was patient and non-complaining during all her illness. She was cheerful when in society and tried to make it pleasant for those about her. She was a teacher of the infant class in the Christian Sunday school at Corvallis for many years. She loved the work and the class loved her. She was loved by all who knew her. She leaves a mother, sister, three brothers and one daughter to cherish her memory. Her consecrated life will live long in the minds of the people in this community.
The beautiful casket in which her remains was laid away to rest was covered with beautiful flowers. The church also was beautifully decorated with all manner of flowers, which only bespeaks the high esteem in which she was held. The funeral services were conducted by the writer in the Christian church at Corvallis in the presence of a large audience who had convened to manifest their sympathy for the memory of her whose life they had known so well.
