Funeral services were held Friday afternoon at The Methodist Church in 
Magnet for Robert Earl Jones, 74, who died March 19, after a long illness.

Robert Earl Jones was born April 19, 1888 at Union to Richard E. and Mary

Magnet when he was about 14 years of age. In 1907 he was married to Allona 
Kopp and the couple farmed around Magnet for five years before moving to 
Bloomfield where they resided for 20 years. They then moved to Los Angeles, 
Calif., where they resided from 1936 to 1953, returning at that time to 
Magnet where they continued to reside.

Survivors include his widow, Allona; three sons, Alva of Sioux City, IA, 
Edward of Omaha and Garland of California; three brothers, George, Richard 
and Walter, all of Magnet; two sisters, Maree Yaryan of Fresno, Calif.; and 
Nellie Freeman of Fremont; 12 grandchildren and 6 great grandchildren.

Preceding him in death were his parents, one son, Forrest in services with 
the U.S. Armed Forces during World War II; one brother, Carl G. Jones.
