Frank Martin Jones, youngest son of the late Robert Jones, died at the home of his sister, south of the city, on Tuesday, Jan. 10. In the spring of ’91 being persuaded that a change of climate might be of benefit in view of failing health, he went to the Pacific coast where he remained for one year. Returning home on account of his father’s illness he stayed but a short time, his own rapidly failing health making another change seem necessary, and in hope of recovery, he visited the mountains of North Carolina. He remained in Asheville some four months when he went into southern Florida. Securing the hoped for relief at neither place, he returned to home and friends scarce two weeks ago and died at the house where he was born March 16, 1869. Though a sufferer from consumption for many months his death was super induced by heart failure and came unexpectedly.  He had been a member of the United Brethren Church since 1887. His short life was an exemplary one and his death one of sweet resignation. -s
