      Court OKs Ex-Teacher's Will: $300,000 to Charity
      Martinez - Charitable groups have been awarded more than $300,000 from the estate of Mrs. Marrion Horr Jones, former high school teacher, under a court order.
      Distribution was approved in Superior Court following a jury's decision that Mrs. Jones, widow of Rev. Augustine Jones, a missionary, was of sound mind when she wrote her will in 1961.
      She left $38,000 to two nephews and a niece with the residue, $304,274.00, to be divided by these charitable organizations: Contra Costa branch American Cancer Society, American board of Foreign Missions, Boston; Board of Home Missions and American Bible Society, both of New York.
      Mrs. Jones, who died in April 1965, was a member of a pioneer east Contra Costa County ranching family and taught high school at Brentwood in the early 1900's.
