OBITUARY: 
Died – At her home, near Macleay, on Jan. 29th, of typhoid pneumonia, Mrs. Ellen Jones, wife of Thomas A. Jones, and daughter of Rev. J. W. Short, aged 34 years, 1 month, and 1 day.
Since the commencement of her blooming girlhood, deceased has lived in the community where she died, and was extensively known, and universally respected. In her late illness she had the unwearied attention of her husband, relatives, friends, and three skillful physicians, and for a fortnight she hovered close down by the brink of the Sullen River, waiting for the great decision that was to restore her to her husband and children, or waft her weary spirit to the mystic precinct beyond the invisible vail. Her character in all its phases, as developed by the varied experiences of life’s accumulating trials, was worthy of universal emulation. For more than eight years I have lived a near neighbor to her and her husband, and I am sure this estimate of her character will be heartily concurred in by all who knew her. She certainly had not an enemy in the world, and if a good character in this life insures happiness in the one to come, the change to her has certainly been one of permanent gain. T.T. G[eer].
