DEXTER R. JONES IS DEAD

Former Commissioner of Jasper County Died Thursday Night. Dexter R. Jones, one of the county commissioners when the new court house was built here, died at his home in Remington at 8 o’clock Thursday evening, aged about 80 years. /He leaves one son, Howard Jones, of near Remington and three daughters, Mrs. Wilbur Kay of Washington, Pennsylvania; Mrs. Wade Greene of Staten Island, New York, and Miss Alice, who lived at home with her father. Mr. Jones’ wife, who was a sister of A. J. Bellows of Rensselaer, died a few years ago. He had been sick, we understand, only about a week or ten days. Mrs. Kay, the daughter from Pennsylvania, came Tuesday and was at home when he died. At this writing the funeral arrangements had not been made, but it is probable the funeral will be held tomorrow.
