Bio

The Cleburne Newspaper Issue of Thursday, SEPTEMBER 4, 1930 MRS. J.G. JONES LAID TO REST Many hearts are saddened to learn of the passing of Mrs. J.G. Jones, one of Heflin's most beloved women. For several days much anxiety had been felt by her family and friends as to the outcome of a serious illness, which overtaxed her strength and vitality. Every care that love and devotion could bestove was given by family and friends, until finally all that mortal hands could do was done, the end coming at 7:45 Saturday morning. Mrs. Mary Adaline Jones was the daughter of Rev. and Mrs. Hanibal Allen. She was born Feb. 1, 1868; was married to Mr. John G. Jones on May 7, 1885. Ten children were born to this union, all of whom are living, and are: Asbury C. Jones of Memphis, Tenn. Mrs. M.L. Johnson of Heflin Allen M. Jones of Nashville, Ga. Mrs. John F. Gossage of Fayetteville, Ga. Austin J. Jones of Heflin Mrs. Neal Holmes of Clover Leaf, Manitoba, Canada Mrs. Arthur Norton of Heflin Mrs. John E. Sprayberry of Heflin John T. Jones of Kellyville, Oklahoma Mrs. Howard G. Riddle of DeArmansville, Ala. She leaves 39 grandchildren. It was as a wife and mother that Mrs. Jones excelled, for her exalted sense of this God-given trust was daily exemplified. "To be strong and true, to be generous in praise and appreciation of others to impute worthy motives, even to enemies; to give without expectation of return; to practice humility, tolerance and self-restraint; to make the best use of time and opportunty; to keep the mind pure and the judgment charitable; to extend intelligent sympathy to those in distress; to cultivate quietness and non-resistance; to seek truth and righteousness; to work, love, pray and serve daily; to aspire greatly, labor cheerfully and take God at His word; this is to travel heavenward." The funeral and burial took place Sunday at Pine Grove church, Revs. G.B. Boman and W.M. Barr officiating. The Cleburne News extends to Mr. Jones and family sincere sympathy in the loss of companion and mother. Source: http://files.usgwarchives.net/al/cleburne/newspapers/newspape1248gnw.txt
