Mr R.A.Jones
Mr Robert Arthur Jones, an old resident of Mulcare Rd., [Street] Nar Nar Goon, passed away at the home of his daughter, Mrs. J Williams, 20 Potter Street, Dandenong, on May 8th at the age of 74. He was ill only for a short time. Mrs Jones pre-deceased him in 1946, but a family of five sons and three daughters mourns the loss of a devoted father. Another son, Johnnie, lost his life with the 2nd A.I.F. The family's grief is shared by a very wide circle of friends in the Nar Nar Goon district. Many life long friends of deceased attended the funeral at the Spring Vale Necropolis on Friday when Rev. C.C. Macmichael conducted both services. The pall-bearers were Messrs. J. Williams, R. Taylor, J. Jones, E. [Eric] and P. [Paul] Blackwell and W. Taylor. W J Garnar and Son directed the funeral.
