PROMINENT CHEYENNE PIONEER AND RANCHMAN PASSES AWAY AFTER SHORT ILLNESS
Death Due to Uraemic Poisoning—Was Man Who Homesteaded Town of Egbert— Member of Cheyenne Lodge of Elks— Funeral Arrangements Not Completed.
Yesterday afternoon at 3 o'clock Frank H. Jones, the well known Cheyenne resident and more recently engaged in the ranching business on Bear creek, passed away at St. John's hospital from uraemic poisoning, a form of kidney trouble, after an illness of but three days. No arrangements will be made for the funeral until after the arrival of two brothers to-night.
Mr. Jones was one of the best known residents of this part of the state, where he has resided for many years. He was born in Winchester, Va., in 1856 and came west in 1886 just after his marriage. He settled with his wife on what is now the town of Egbert, east of Cheyenne, homesteading the place and later platting it into a townsite.
Two years later he was elected county surveyor and moved to this city to reside. He was engaged for several years in the surveyor general's office, and during more recent years was associated with the Cheyenne office of the New York Life Insurance company, in which company he held insurance in the sum of $7,000.
Last November he purchased a one third interest in the extensive Y-Cross ranch on Bear creek from Messrs. Yoder and Marsh, one of the finest ranches in the county. He has been a sufferer for several years from kidney trouble and last Thursday he caught cold, developing an attack of the grip. Acute uraemia developed and Friday morning at 10 o'clock he appeared in good spirits and gave instructions regarding the feeding of cattle. Two hours later he relapsed into unconsciousness, remaining in this condition until death came yesterday afternoon.
He is survived by a heartbroken widow and four beautiful young daughters. He has three brothers and one sister living: W. S. Jones of Red Bank, N. J.; Fred B. Jones of Memphis, Tenn.; Barton Jones of Baltimore and Mrs. Brackett of Boston. Messrs. W. S. Jones and Fred Jones will arrive in this city this evening.
Deceased was a prominent member of Cheyenne Lodge No. 660, B, P. O. E., the only fraternal order to which he belonged.
