Friends Shocked By Death Of Ralph Jones

The many Wickenburg friends and acquaintances of Ralph Jones, assistant superintendent of the Albuquerque division of the Santa Fe were shocked this week by the news of his death Wednesday afternoon in a Los Angeles hospital, where he had gone for treatment of a stomach ailment. He had passed through Wickenburg only a few days before.

Mr. Jones' duties gave him supervision of the Santa Fe lines between Ash Fork and Phoenix, including the Parker division and the Jerome branch. He had occupied the position since 1924, following a long series of promotions in the road's service. He began as a rodman (sic: roadman).

Mr. Jones was 48 years old. His wife and two sons, Ralph Jr., 19, and James 14, survive. Their home is in Phoenix.

Funeral services were held yesterday afternoon in Los Angeles, and burial was to take place in San Francisco.
