      Mrs. L. M. Jones.
      Another of Elkton's Aged Citizens Gone to Rest.
      The hand of death has been busy in our midst of late, and almost continually a
      grave has been open in the cemetery awaiting the coming of its occupant.
      The last sad announcement of this character was made on Sunday last when the
      decease of Mrs. L. Maria Jones, widow of the late William Jones and mother of W.
      J. Jones, Esq., of the Elkton bar, was made public.
      Her illness was brief-so much so, indeed; that only her most intimate friends
      were appraised of it previous to her demise. She died last Sunday morning
      between ten and eleven o'clock, at the residence of her son on North street, in
      whose family she had made her home for a number of years.
      Mrs. Jones was a sister of James McKinsey, of Philadelphia, formerly
      postmaster of this town. She was a lady of modest and retiring disposition and
      spent her whole time in the quiet of the family circle, being averse to the
      crowd and battles of every day life, hence she was known thoroughly, and the
      many beauties of her character appreciated only by intimate friends of the
      family. She was a true Christian woman, and a consistent member of the M. E.
      church. Throughout her illness, which though short was severe and painful, she
      was sustained and supported by an unfaltering faith, submitting and resigning
      herself entirely to the will of her Heavenly Father, passing away calmly and
      quietly like one lying down to pleasant dreams, a fitting close of an even and
      beautiful life.
      Her funeral took place on Tuesday afternoon. Service was held at the house,
      Rev. Mr. Sheppard, officiating, and the remains were interred in the Elkton
      cemetery.
