WORTHY YOUNG MATRON IS CALLED BY DEATH

Mrs. Evelyn Jones Dies After Three Weeks Illness—Leaves Husband and Two Children.

Mrs. Evelyn Jones, wife of Fredrick Jones, died Monday evening from blood poisoning, resulting from confinement. She had been ill since the birth of a son about three weeks ago, and made a most heroic struggle during her entire illness.

All that medical skill, expert nursing and loving friends could do was done, but all efforts to save her life proved futile.
