  MissScarlett: Jedburgh Gazette, Friday January 6th 1911, p.3:

<Death After A Dance.

It was stated at the inquest held at Hornsey, on Monday, on Edward Owen Jones, a Civil servant, that after returning from a dance he fell unconscious and died from the rupture of a blood vessel in the brain.>

Seems the inquest not the death occurred on the 2nd.

  John Saunders: "The City of London Chess Club recently lost by death Mr. E. O. Jones, who a decade ago was one of its prominent players.

In 1896 he won the Craigside Challenge Cup, and first prize £8, defeating the late Rev. John Owen, Rev. A. B. Skipworth, and drawing with Mr. G. E. H. Bellingham.

Of late years Mr. Jones devoted more attention to outdoor recreations than to chess, being particularly fond of cricket.

He died comparatively a young man of 49." (BCM, 1911, p94)

  John Saunders: "Edward O Jones was born in London, 1861, and educated at St Godolphin School, Hammersmith, entered the Civil Service, 1878. M. E. Barbier, the well-known composer and player, was professor of French during Mr. Jones' college time, and this suggests the beginning of the latter's chess career. Mr. Jones' name became known in Metropolitan chess circles in 1884, when he joined the City of London Club, and was placed in the fifth class, tying for first place in the winter tourney in his section. He joined the British Chess Club, then in Leicester-square, in 1886, and took third prize in the club handicap at odds of pawn and 2, winning a second class tourney at the same club in that year. In 1889 he won the Mocatta prize at the City of London under odds of pawn and move. A year later, on defeating Mr. Skipworth, when playing as a substitute against the St. George's, he was promoted to the City's first class. He took a prize in the spring handicap at the City in 1892, and the third prize in the B.C.A. tournament of that year, after a tie with Herbert Jacobs. Afterwards he played a series of matches with the latter, losing a slight majority of games, but improved rapidly in strength by frequent practice with Mr. Teichmann. In 1893 at the Counties' Chess Association meeting at Woodhall-square, he took the first prize in the first division without losing a game, defeating Blake, Skipworth, Lambert, and Dr. Smith, besides drawing with Owen, Wayte and Trenchard—which excellent performance he repeated at the Craigside Hydro meeting, where he also figured at tennis, cricket, and golf." (Dublin Evening Mail, 14 January 1897, page 4)
