Hattie Adelia Jones
Miss Hattie Adelia Jones, at Elmwood, Ill., July 6,
1869, united with the Congregational church when about 14 years of age;
graduated from Elmwood High School when yet a girl, and from Knox College,
Galesburg, Ill., when about 21 years old. She chose teaching as her life
profession, going first to Beatrice, Neb., where she taught successfully for six
years, part of which time she served as president of the Young People's
Christian Endeavor, being a very active church worker.
From thence she went to Castle, Wyoming, where she
taught for two years. Although eminently successful in her chosen profession,
she was forced to give up teaching after a term of eight years on account of
failing health. So rapid was her decline in health that soon after she retired
from the school room, she was prevailed on to come south in search of a more
congenial clime. Accordingly she spent the winter of 1900 at Citronell, a famous
health resort near Mobile, Ala. The next winter she spent in San Antonio, Texas,
with some profit, returning to her home in the East the following summer. In the
fall of 1902 she came to Seguin and has since lived with her brother and sister
Mr. and Mrs. Dr. Pearson, and her aged mother, Mrs. S. G. Jones. Her illness was
lingering and oftentimes attended with much pain, but she bore it all with
patience and Christian submission. Her quiet, modest, and unassuming bearing won
for her many warm friends during her brief residence in this, the city of her
adoption.
Of her, one her former pastor's writes: "Hattie was one
of the most beautiful Christian characters I ever knew, a most faithful follower
of our blessed Saviour, and while we cannot but deeply regret her early death,
yet her memory will be sacred to all who knew her, and the pure and beautiful
life she lived will be an inspiration to them as long as they live, and make
their lives better than they ever would have been without it."
Miss Jones passed to her reward on the night of the
16th of February, 1904, attended by the loving family and devoted friends. She
was buried from the family residence at 4:30 o'clock, on the afternoon of the
17th, the Baptist pastor officiating. The very large concourse of friends that
followed her remains to the Riverside cemetery attest the high esteem in which
she was held by the people of the community.
To the bereaved ones we tender our deepest sympathy in this, their great sorrow.
"Dearest one, thou hast left us;
We our loss do deeply feel,
But 'tis God that haft bereft us;
He can all our sorrows heal."
T. J. Dodson
Pastor, Baptist Ch., Seguin, Texas
Mrs. S. G. Jones will be remembered as a sister to the late Mrs. Rebecca McQuown, and also of Mrs. I. W. Silloway, W. G. Huey, John Huey and Webster Huey. (Brimfield News, Mar. 10, 1904, submitted by Laurie Huey)

A Wealthy Man Decoyed Into A Den By Two Desperadoes
PEKIN, Ill. March 10th The body of a man was found lodged against a snag in the Illinois River Saturday by parties passing in a skiff. The remains were brought to this city yesterday, and at the inquest it was learned that they were those of Bernhard Junghaus, a German horse buyer of Peoria, a man of considerable means.
There was an ugly wound back of the right ear. A gold watch and chain and a gold ring which the man wore were missing and no money was found upon the body, although it was learned from letters in the dead man's pocket that he intended to start for Germany to-day. The man was undoubtedly murdered and robbed and his body thrown into the river. The Coroner's jury rendered a verdict to that effect.
Four policemen surrounded a den kept by Link Hummel and Bill Luckey last night and endeavored to arrest them for the murder of Junghaus. As the policemen burst in the doors the two ruffians dropped through a hidden trap door and escaped to the river by means of a sewer. Two women living with them were arrested, and the murdered man's watch, chain, and ring found on them.
Junghaus was enticed into the den on Friday, his head split open, and his body conveyed to the river by means of the trap and sewer. He had drawn $2,000 from the bank on Thursday, and intended leaving for New York Friday. He was fifty-eight years of age, and was reputed to be quite wealthy.
The police have orders to kill either Hummel or Luckey on sight, as they are desperate characters and have committed many crimes. It is thought they will try to reach Chicago or Kansas City.

Julia Woodmansee Jones was born in Fayette County, Pennsylvania, March 21, 1809. Her parents moved to Butler County, Ohio in 1810, where she was married to Hiram Jones, of White Hall, N.Y. in 1834. To this union five children were born; one died in infancy and one a young man in 1861. In 1951 she moved to Brimfield, Il. Where, with the exception of four years in Galesburg, she lived until her death on September 25, 1893, age 84 years 6 months and 4 days. For the last twelve years her health had been poor, but she endured suffering with patience, ever cheered by the Christians hope and finally passed away quietly away to the home of the soul, for which time during the last days of her sickness she so much longed. She joined the M.E. Church when she was thirteen yeas old and for seventy one years walked in the straight and narrow way of a consistent, conscience Christian. The world is better for the example of her life, and the world will be better by more such lives being lived. She died at the home of her son C.D. Jones.
Funeral services were held on Wednesday P.M. at the residence, conducted by Rev. Hunting of Peoria, the remains were laid to rest in the Brimfield cemetery.
