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. ------ NEWSPAPER Issue of Thursday, SEPTEMBER 11, 1930 SKULL CRUSHED IN ACCIDENT Elmer Snow, 22, son of Mrs. R.W.
