Miss Laura Sigma Jones, member of an old and well-known
Frederick county family, died last night at the home of her
nephew and niece, Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Crisman, on the Cedar
Creek grade, after a protracted illness, due chiefly to
advanced age.
Miss Jones, who was in her eighty-fourth year, was born
March 22, 1854, and was a daughter of the late William and
Ruth Jackson Jones, of this city.
Practically all her life had been spent in this city
and Frederick county. She and her sister, the late Miss
Alice Jones, lived for many years on North Loudoun street.
The latter died September 1, 1935.
The funeral of Miss Jones will take place from the home
of Mr. and Mrs. Crisman Monday morning. Relatives and
friends will meet there at 10 o'clock for the service.
Interment will be in the family lot in Mount Hebron
Cemetery.
