On last Tuesday morning John Jones died at the home of his son by
the same name, eight miles northwest of Fairbury. The deceased was
more commonly known as "Fiddler" Jones, which name originated in
his peculiar affection for his violin. During the latter years of
his life when he became too old to work it was his almost constant
companion, and although he was past 84 years of age and weak with
disease, he played over an hour on his favorite instrument of the
Sunday preceding his death. He celebrated the Fourth in Fairbury,
and while here gave the undertaker some instructions regarding his
funeral, which he realized was not far distant. His ailment was
Bright's disease. The remains were shipped Thursday morning to his
old home in Iowa where interment will take place.
