JONES WELL KNOWN RYLSTONE MAN WHOLE DISTRICT PROFOUNDLY SHOCKED Just as the Guardian was going to press a wire came to hand notifying the death of Mr. W. R. Jones, formerly owner of Fernside Station, Rylstone. The news will come, as it has to the proprietors of the Guardian, as profound shock to the many friends of the deceased gentleman in the Rylstone and Mudgee districts. For many years Mr. Jones was a prolific and valued contributor to the Guardian, and when residing at Rylstone acted as correspondent for that district. For the past twelve months he resided in the city, and during that time his "Sydney Notes" were always looked forward to eagerly. Of late, Mr. Jones had not been in the best of health, but about a fortnight ago when on a visit to Mudgee, he declared that he was "beginning to feel fit again." Universal sympathy in which the Guardian sincerely joins, goes out to the bereaved widow. Further particulars of the sad death will be published in our next issue. Mudgee Guardian, Monday 17 September 1928, p. 2. William Jones Death The Late W. R. Jones PASSING OF A FINE CHARACTER. SYMPATHY FOR SORROWING WIDOW. By the passing of William Robert Jones, very many people in the Rylstone and Mudgee districts have lost one of their most valued friends. As briefly stated in Monday's issue deceased passed away suddenly on Sunday. It appears that he was preparing for a game of tennis, but was evidently seized with a sudden illness while in the garden at his home, where he was found dead reclining under a tree. The late Mr Jones, until his departure for Sydney a couple of years ago, Presided on his well-improved estate at Fernside, Rylstone. A man of fine personality, he naturally attracted and held the esteem of all classes of the community, and, being gifted with more than average intelligence, he played no small part in every movement calculated to advance the interests of the district in lived and of which he was such a staunch supporter. Local Government matters interested him, and he served with conspicuous ability in the Rylstone Shire Council, where his opinions were always respected by his colleagues. Many other organisations also had the benefit of his valuable advice, and altogether the part he played in the district's advancement cannot be too highly commended. He was also prominent in sporting circles, and dearly loved a good horse. But perhaps it was in the cricket field that he will be best remembered. In the days when the grand old game boomed in the district, and when teams thought nothing of travelling considerable distances to meet one another in friendly rivalry, he was a power to be reckoned with. Gifted with a splendid physique and possessing ability above the average, he played an important part in making his club one of the most powerful in the district. His fast bowling was always to be respected, while in other departments of the game he was regarded as a particularly able exponent. Many an old comrade will mourn his passing. Being a man of vigorous intellect, politics naturally attracted him, and he expressed his opinions fearlessly on the leading questions of the day. He wielded a facile pen, and over a long period of years his contributions were a feature of the Guardian. Even after retiring into private life in the metropolis he continued to write forcibly on various matters of interest, and his opinions always commanded respect. He dearly loved a spiritual controversy, and at all times was willing to cross swords with other correspondents; but always without rancor, or indulging in personalities, or vindictiveness. We sincerely regret his lamented death, and extend deepest sympathy to his sorrowing widow, also to his brother, Mr B. Jones, of Rylstone. Mudgee Guardian, Thursday 20 September 1928, p. 29.
