Our people were painfully surprised yesterday morning to learn of the death of Everett D Jones, which occurred at his father's residence on Union street, Morrisville [Otsego Co., NY], at 7 a.m. He was ill only a few days and his death comes like a thunderbolt from a clear sky to his family and friends. A week ago Wednesday, in company with a friend, he went fishing at Hatch's lake, and in some manner contracted a severe cold which terminated the next day in a mild form of diphtheria. The attending physician succeeded in staying the malady, when the patient was taken with pulso pneumonia and rapidly sank. Altho' possessing a rugged constitution, the first stage of his illness reduced his vitality to such an extent that he could not stand the ravages of the latter disease. Everett was born in Utica in 1872 and was 24 years and 10 months old. In early childhood he removed with his parents to Morrisville, where he has since lived. After leaving our Union school, he spent a year at Olivet college, Olivet, Mich. After leaving college, and for several years, he was engaged as traveling salesman for a Utica wholesale gent's furnishing house, and last summer assisted an engineering corps in constructing a system of water works in Afton.

The funeral will take place Friday afternoon, Sept 4, at 1 o'clock from the residence. As Rev. Mr. Powell, pastor of the Baptist church is absent on his vacation, the services will be conducted by the Rev. DeWitt S. Hooker of the M.E. church--Madison County Leader.
