Obituary
Bachelor Farmer is Found Dead
Beside Machine
Charles F. Jones
Charles
F. Jones, 75, bachelor farmer and resident of the Washougal district for the
past 50 years, was found dead Thursday beside a mowing machine an estimated two
days after a heart attack claimed his life, according to a report from the
coroner’s office.
Jones
was last seen Tuesday afternoon, August 24, mowing on the old Sandman farm. Two days later a neighbor noticed that his
horses were still in the field near the mower, one with harness partly gone,
and upon investigation found the body and notified the sheriff’s office.
Further
investigation by officials revealed that one of the horses had been unhitched
from the mowing machine, while the other had not. It is supposed that Jones was unhitching his
team Tuesday evening at the end of his day’s work when he suffered the fatal
heart attack.
