Kathrina Jones
Obituary
Mrs. Kathrina Jones, died at the home of her son, Jurgen Jones, south of town, last Thursday
evening. She had formerly lived for some years in her home on north Main Street, but
getting so old and feeble her son decided he would take her to his home for the remainder of
her days. She had been troubled for some time with dropsy, and this, going to her heart,
caused her death. She was a good, kind old lady, very quiet, and never made many
acquaintances.
Kathrina (Stamp) Jones, was born at Margertorff, Germany in 1830 and was married to Mathias Jones in 1853. Mr. Jones died in 1863 in Germany. She moved with her sons to America in 1891 and purchased land southwest of town where she has since resided until after a few years ago when she came to Manning as before stated. She was a member of the German Lutheran church for many years. She leaves three sons, Mathias Jones, Hans Jones, and Jurgen Jones, to mourn her loss. The funeral was held last Sunday, Editor Berthold Kraus officiating, after which the remains were interred in the Manning Cemetery.
Note: there are no tombstone or city records for Kathrina or Jurgen Jones.
