July 1939 Alumnae Quarterly:
Charlotte Jones helped to make Reunion successful. We loved to see her quiet face among us. She teaches in a Baltimore high school.
Winter 1956 Alumnae Quarterly:
As to May Jones, Charlotte writes that "her recovery is very slow; she sleeps late, having her breakfast about 10:30. Then she sits in a big chair in the living room, reading and sleeping for the greater part of each day. She dries the dishes after dinner, and that is about all she can do. So we are both housebound, and many things go undone which I should like to do."
Summer 1956 Alumnae Quarterly:
May Jones is still very much of an invalid and Charlotte is, of course, her very devoted nurse. We send our best wishes to both.
Fall 1956 Alumnae Quarterly:
...Helen May Jones, whose serious illness was mentioned in previous class notes died in September. Through her long illness her sister Charlotte had been with her continually both when she was at home and at the hospital. To Charlotte and Eda for all of you, I send our deepest sympathy, our prayers and our love.- ALICE DUNNING FLICK
Winter 1957 Alumnae Quarterly:
Charlotte Jones and I have been busy at the same task - disposing of family belongings that have accumulated through many years. It is a sad and tedious occupation. My task is now over and I have moved into an apartment in the building where my two sisters live, and even on the same floor. But Charlotte's task is harder, for a seventeen room house with attic and cellar just naturally holds and keeps everything tha tocmes into it. She writes: "I spent THanksgiving with my brother Harvey's daughter, Elizabeth, and her family, and plan to be at John Wynne's home for Christmas and New Year's Day. Young Wynne will be 10 on Dec. 22, and David, 7, on March 7."-Eda Briggs
Fall 1959 Alumnae Quarterly:
After the heat of the summer, it is good to return to normal living something that I am hoping Charlotte Jones can enjoy, now that she is newly established in an apartment. She sold her big house where the family had lived so long. She had lived there alone; we are happy to know that she will have others in the house and that her work will be lighter. Speaking from long experience I think an apartment is a wonderful invention! Charlotte's new address is 511 Hawthorne Rd., Baltimore 10, Md., and next door to her old home.
Winter 1960 Alumnae Quarterly:
Charlotte Jones had a badly sprained arm from a fall a while back, but her last letter showed that she could use her hand and arm again.
Summer 1960 Alumnae Quarterly:
Charlotte, herself, is finishing hosue cleaning with the washing of all the windows on her big back porch - something I'd love to have myself. Let me hasten to add that she is not doing the windows by herself, so don't set up a picture in your mind's eye of Charlotte hanging out over the walk and flower-bed below with a long-handled mop in her hand, or sitting perilously on the edge of the sill.
Summer 1961 Alumnae Quarterly:
Charlotte Jones is acting as one of the two executors of the estate of the lady in whose house she had an apartment.
Winter 1963 Alumnae Quarterly:
Charlotte Jones, after a really painful and serious time with phlebitis, has recovered and is much relieved that her duties as administratrix of her landlady's estate are practically over.
Fall 1963 Alumnae Quarterly:
I told Charlotte Jones not to try to write during this trying tie while she is preparing to leave her apartment to live with her brother and his wife on the first of October, but I did receive a postcard this morning and have had other word from Baltimore friends. Charlotte's peregrinations are in a wheelchair or in a walker.
Winter 1964 Alumnae Quarterly:
Charlotte Jones has a delightful habit of sending all sorts of enclosures with her letters - jokes, cartoons, bits from her scrapbook. In her last letter were contributions for the 1903 book, such as Alice's tribute to Dr. Shefloe in the Quarterly, Macmillan's fine tribute to him, a picture of Dr. Welsh, etc. Charlotte hopes to discard her walker in the near future.
Spring 1964 Alumnae Quarterly:
Charlotte Jones was taken downtown on a shopping trip and got along fine; steps are hard, and she must have help, but she is doing some household chores that make her happy.
Summer 1964 Alumnae Quarterly:
"It's just a year since I broke my hip, and while my recovery has not been rapid, I hope very much to overcome all walking difficulties except slowness (which comes with old age.) I live now with my brother J. Wynne's family of four. Late in July we all plan to motor to California for a reunion with my brother Leonard's family."
Fall 1964 Alumnae Quarterly:
A note from Charlotte Jones tells of her motor trip to California with her brother and his family. Stops were made at St. Louis, Kansas City, Tulsa, Albuquerque, the Grand Canyon, the Painted Desert, the Petrified Forest, Disneyland, San Francisco, Yellowstone Park, and Mt. Rushmore. Of the last she says "one views in reverence and silent awe the wonderufl works of God and the wonderful works of man>"
Spring 1967 Alumnae Quarterly:
Charlotte Jones has a heartening view of the future in the careers of her 2 brothers and their lively families. She is still the referee for many questions about past records of the church her father served so long.
Winter 1970 Alumnae Quarterly:
When she last wrote Charlotte Jones was about to leave for an all-day drive through the country-side, with lunch and dinner on the way.
Winter 1971 Alumnae Quarterly:
Charlotte Jones came over from Baltimore to join me in celebrating my ninety-first birthday - particularly at a luncheon given me by twenty-four of those teachers who were on the faculty of McKinley High School while I was there. Some of them had not seen each other for a long time, so it was like a jolly reunion. Charlotte is as pretty and attractive as ever. Her visit was much too short. We both carried canes; they are quite popular with the older set.
September 1971 Alumnae Quarterly:
Charlotte Jones was in the hospital for a time, then in a nursing home, with a broken hip. She is now using a walker - that marvelous, simple, sturdy help for the convalescent. I hope the roses will still be blooming when she comes out.
Winter 1972 Alumnae Quarterly:
After a long siege during which Charlotte Jones was recovering from the broken hip trouble, she, too, seems to have found relief in a simliar retreat from reality. Neither of these dear friends ever shirked a duty in her whole life, but age has given them a kind of relief for their latter days. I believe there is no physical pain - just some confusion.
Summer 1973 Alumnae Quarterly:
Mary Abercrombie has not been well for some time, and neither are Charlotte Jones and Florence Carmine Bankard.
