John William Jones was fatally injured last Wednesday afternoon, July 10, 1940, around 4:30 o'clock, while loading short mining props on the D.&H. siding in this village. Mr. Jones, who was employed by A.W. Tuckey was apparently struck on the head as he was arranging the props inside the car. The short props are sawed at the place of loading and are raised over the side of the car by a carrier. He was able to climb out of the car but soon became unconscious and was taken to the Bainbridge Hospital where he failed to regain consciousness and died as a result of a fracture of the skull and a brain injury about 6 o'clock. Born in Afton [Chenango Co., NY], September 15, 1892, he was a son of Edward B. and Margaret Featherson Jones. He is survived by a sister, Mrs. Isadore Mulwane, of Guilford. The funeral was held at Colwell's Funeral Chapel, Saturday afternoon, with the Rev. George Parmalee, of Sidney, officiating. The pall-bearers were: Winfield Cook, Datus Hartwell, William Moffitt of Afton; and Leon Hartwell. Burial was in the Afton Cemetery.

Caroline M. Ives was born to Alson and Mehitable Mills, in Guilford, N.Y. [Chenango Co.], April 6, 1843, and died at noon of the Sabbath day Sept. 30, 1883. She was born of the Spirit in 1860, during a gracious revival in the Congregational Church at Guilford Center. She united with the church of her birth and entered at once upon the work an earnest Christian finds to do. On Feb. 21, 1865, she was married with our Brother Franklin L. Ives. Some years after this, of her own accord and without the knowledge of her husband, she took a letter from the church of her youth and united with the Methodist Episcopal Church of which her husband was a member. We have no idea she took this step because she lost sympathy with her Church, nor yet because the Church lost confidence in her, but because her husband was a Methodist and she clave to him with all that hero devotion which characterized Ruthe's attachment to Naomi. Her aged parents and her brothers and sisters who have remained with their church never have felt that Carrie loved them and their church less, but that she loved Frank and his church more. Her Savior was able to save to the uttermost and fully, and her heart beat in unison with any and all work for humanity and God. She was one of the sweet singers in Israel. She was a successful Sunday school teacher and a willing efficient worker in every department of the church work, and her work was well done at home. Nothing that could be done today was left for tomorrow, hence she saw her two boys converted to God and walking with the church for several months before she went hence. The last time she was from home was on Sabbath evening, Aug. 26, when she was in attendance at a "literary" by the young people of the Sunday school. This she enjoyed so much. Her sickness was very severe, and after the first week she did not realize how sick she was, nor did she talk with the loved ones who so tenderly watched and worked and prayed over her. Her Sabbath school class, six young men, lowered her precious remains to their resting place and the clods of the valley closed over her. Her family, her church and the community in which she lived all, all are in tears, but they do not mourn as those without hope. "The memory of the just is blessed." P.R. Tower.
