Mrs. John Jones Deceased - Early last Friday Susannah Dark, relict of the late John Jones, passed peacefully to the rest of God's children, at the advanced age of 80 years. She was making her home with her daughter, Mrs. Richard Mitchell, 3rd line, Morris, for some time past and had been confined to bed for 4 or 5 weeks, pleurisy and inflammation of the bowels being a combination at her age that defied medical skill. Deceased was conscious to the last and proved the truthfulness of many promises that had buoyed her up in her voyage over life's ocean. Mr. Jones died on Aug. 24th 1899, aged 80 years. The subject of this notice was born in Devonshire, England, and immediately after her marriage on Aug. 9th, 1852, sailed for the new world, from Bristol. A few months were spent in New York State after which they lived at Mitchell, Ont., for a couple of years and then moved to lot 9, con. 10, Grey township, where they made their home until 1884, a house and lot were bought in Brussels South and there the evening of life was spent. The surviving of seven children are Mrs. John Johnston, of Florida; Mrs. Richard Mitchell, of Morris; Mrs. Geo. Bateman, of Grey; and Mrs. Duncan McKay, of North Dakota, who were present at the funeral on Monday afternoon, excepting Mrs. Johnston. Rev. T. W. Cosens, deceased's pastor, conducted an appropriate service after which the remains were conveyed to Brussels cemetery and placed beside those of her partner of joys and sorrows for so many years. Mrs. Jones was a devoted Christian woman whose experience often helped others along the pathway. She was a faithful wife, a true mother and was most highly and deservedly esteemed by all who knew her.
