I do not know what day this was in the Danville Commercial News as it was in my grandfather's scrapbook.
*Tilton's oldest resident, Mrs. Sarah Jones, 93, died at 3:30 p.m. Saturday at her home, 112 S. H St. where she has resided the past 53 years.
Mrs. Jones became ill only a week ago and before that had enjoyed her usual health.
Mrs. Jones was a charter member of the Tilton Methodist Church, which she helped organize and build and had remained active in church work through the years. Among other church groups, she was a member of the Home Department.
A resident of the Danville vicinity the past 85 years, she was born Oct. 31, 1851 in Oxford, Wis., the daughter of John and Frances Pugh Watkins. Her husband John E. Jones, preceded her in death 40 years ago.
Surviving are two sons, John W. Jones, Danville, and Richard H. Jones, Tilton; a daughter, Mrs. Elizabeth Jones of Attica; 11 grandchildren; 30 great-grandchildren and 7 great-great-grandchildren. Two sons and two daughters also preceded her in death.
The body is at Berhalter Funeral Home and today will be returned to the residence to await services. The funeral is set for 2 p.m. Monday at Tilton Methodist Church with the Rev. Gerald E. Gulley, pastor, officiating. Burial will be in Songer Cemetery.
I try to add new material frequently. Please check back often. If you have someone you would like for me to check on, please contact me. I may have to charge for this service.
Just some info:
Please keep in mind that I have lots of time and money invested in this project. Many of the names are family members... some a few (not usually very far) generations down the line. Others are names in my husband's family, brothers-in-laws families and my sons-in-laws families and daughter-in-laws families. Some are related to others in my family tree but not directly to me. All information I have personally gathered. I did not use any information from the Mormon Church's many sites. I have researched everything. Most photos belong to me directly, except the ones that I have given credit too.
My family lines are (note: the * are in my family tree {I still have many to mark.}) Jones, Pugh, Knowles, Prothero, Painter, Owens, Nash, Albright, Watkins, Hall, Edgerton, Willoughby, Draper, Charinsky, Aikin, Moore, Meers, Morgan, DalValley (DalVallee), Monson, Klaman, Breeden, Dora, Russell, Williamson, Arnold, Chism, Siddell, Weindenburner, Gill, Ames, Wallis, Chantos, Keller, Davis, Wilcox, Cox, Pate, Gruber, Palmer, Sullivan, Douthit, West, Butler, Reese, Balsley, Smallcomb and the list goes on.
Some folks, on this blog, are friends or friends' parents. Others are individuals that are on the same page as one of my family.
I am willing to do research for others, however I do charge for extensive research and for the cost of research items. To check in some of our local cemetery records they do charge. Birth and Death records also cost. Before I do that search I will require a deposit in my paypal account. Please ask ahead if I will be charged to help you. Also all of the articles I have, I have paid to make copies of .

Give me a Shout-out About Family History
I am not only looking for and posting my own family history, but others that I have found.
Blank lines means the individual is still living at the time that I post the article. I try not to publish any names of living individuals. This is not always possible, as some folks may still be alive and I don't know them. Sorry if I have posted a name of someone you know for sure is still living. Contact me and I will make their name a blank line.
I have the complete obit if you are related and need more information. Please state how you are related in your email.
