Funeral of Mrs. Jones
Services to Be Held Today From Late Residence
Funeral services over the remains of Mrs. Lucippia Ann Jones were held today at her late residence, 409 B
street southeast. Mrs. Jones, who was one of this city's oldest residents, died last Tuesday morning. She had
been living with her son, Edwin D. Jones, for a number of years.
Mrs. Jones' father was the late Henry Teitjin, who came here from Bremen, Germany, in 1795, and
established a sugar refinery on the corner of New Jersey avenue and N street. This was the first and only
sugar refinery ever established in this section of the country. Shortly afterward he met the beautiful Miss
Susanne Carter, an acknowledged belle. As Miss Carter was a member of one of the most prominent families
in the south and Mr. Teitjin but a modest well-to-do German, there were great difficulties to the courtship
which he began, but Miss Carter became Mrs. Teitjim in 1798. Mr. Teitjin enlisted in the war of 1812, and
Mrs. Teitin's brother, Capt. John Carter, also made a name for himself at that time. Mr. and Mrs. Teitin had
eight children, of whom Mrs. Jones was the youngest and at her death the sole survivor.
Mrs. Jones married William T. Jones in 1845. She was a southern lady of the old school. Besides her son,
she leaves a number of grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Lucippia and William had two daughter, Laura, who died at the age of two, and another unnamed daughter that died in infancy. They also had two sons, Thomas Oscar Jones and Edwin Donatus Jones. All are buried at congressional cemetery.
