Word has been received in Canajoharie that the bodies of Mr. and Mrs. Merwin J. Jones have been located in a temporary morgue in Mississippi, victims of Hurricane Camille.
Mr. and Mrs. Jones, former residents of Palatine Bridge, where Mr. Jones was a member of the Town of Palatine board and justice of the peace, was also a partner in the J & L Fuel Co. with his brother-in-law, Warren Lape. For the past five years he and his wife have resided in Mississippi where he was employed as a security officer for the General Electric Co.
Jones and his wife, Helen Freehold Jones, had resided in the community of Pass Christian in the Richlieu Apartment house, of which Mrs. Jones was manager.
The modern brick and concrete building contained 89 apartments and was destroyed by Hurricane Camille. The apartment house was situated about 100 feet from the beach and was struck by tidal waves reported to have reached the third story of the building.
Word of the finding of Mr. and Mrs. Jones came from Raymond DeWolfe, another former resident of Palatine Bridge, now a resident of Jackson, Miss., and the senior GE security officer in that area. He had been searching for Mr. and Mrs. Jones since the storm.
Identification of Mr. and Mrs. Jones was made through fingerprints which were taken of the victims by the FBI in an attempt to identify all of the bodies found in the wreckage of the storm.
The last report of the Joneses was noted by an airline pilot and his son who were residents of the apartment house, and who had been in a room of the building "sweating out" the storm, when the building began to fall apart. The Jones and the pilot and his son left the room, with the pilot and his son running in one direction down a hall and Mr. and Mrs. Jones going in the opposite direction. The pilot and his son survived the storm and notified DeWolfe of their encounter with Mr. and Mrs. Jones just prior to the destruction of the building.
The couple has one daughter, Mrs. Suzanne Unell, who now resides near Rochester. Mrs. Jones is the sister of Mrs. Edward Lord, Fort Plain, Mrs. Peter Maxon of Ithaca, and Mrs. Harold Whitford of St. Louis. Mrs. Warren Lape of Canajoharie is a sister, and Mr. Jones mother, Mrs. Charlotte Jones, resides with Mrs. Lape.
Jones, in addition to serving on the Palatine town board, was active in community affairs, was a veteran of World War II and an active member of the American Legion, being a past commander of Smith-Schultz Post, Canajoharie. He was also a member of Hamilton Lodge 79, F & AM. Jones was one of the founders and always active while in Canajoharie in the Canajoharie-Palatine Pre-Teen League (Little League.)
Jones was employed as a security officer for the General Electric Co. and moved to Mississippi about five years ago when he was transferred by the company from Binghamton.
