  MissScarlett: Dover Express, January 21st 1949, p.7:

<It is with very deep regret that we record the death of Mr. Russell France Bavington Jones, the Editor and Proprietor of the "Dover Express," which took place on Tuesday morning at Buckland Hospital, where he had been lying seriously ill since his admission there on 3rd January. Previously, he had been confined to his house at "Kasney," Park Avenue, for about a fortnight.

Mr. R. F. B. Jones was born in Dover on January 26th, 1876, and was the second son of the late John Bavington Jones, who came to Dover in 1871, when he purchased the "Dover News," and two years later amalgamated it with the "Dover Express." The death of the present Editor thus ends a 75-year family connection with that office. His father died in 1922, aged 82, and his brother, Mr. Oliver Godfrey Bavington Jones, in 1933, aged 60 years.

In his youth he was greatly interested with his brother in football and cricket, and he had more than an average knowledge of most other sports. But it was in chess that he made his name, and he was an automatic choice for the County. These matches, in London, played on a Saturday, were often the only break from business that he permitted himself. As Captain of the Dover Chess Club he made it into a live and growing combination, and he will be greatly missed there. [...]>
