Linda Blum-Barton The newspaper is the Greene County Herald of Leakesville, Mississippi from Friday, May 6, 1932. This is related to one of the Jones families of Fayette County, Ga. I believe that the S. B. Jones of Eustis, Florida is the descendant of Seaborn Bartow Jones and Eugenia Bridges Jones. Eugenia Bridges Jones was born in Coweta County, Ga but her sister, Mary J. "Mollie" Bridges lived in Fayette County at the time of this obituary. Mollie Bridges was my Great Grandmother and I believe that is why I have this newspaper. ALLAH DORIS JONES LAID TO REST MAY 2 The entire town was shocked and deeply grieved last Saturday, April 30 when the sad message came announcing the sudden passing of Allah Doris Jones, young daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C F Jones in a Laurel hospital that morning at 6:45 o'clock. She had undergone a serious appendix operation 10 days prior from which she was unable to rally. Though her friends back home were aware of seriousness of her illness they were unprepared for her untimely going, and though there were united prayers for recovery, and every possible medical and surgical aids resorted to, God knew best and called her home where sorrow and sadness come not. She was ten years old, last August 12, was a devoted member of the Baptist Church, and a regular attendant at Sunday School, BYPU and GA's. She is survived by her parents, one sister, Margret Gene, grandmother Jones, and a host of other relatives. Funeral services were held in the local Baptist Church with her pastor, Rev. W E Stewart in charge and assisted by Rev. D W Smith, R M Dickson, and T R Holt. Special music was rendered by the junior Sunday school class of which she was a member, there little girls preceeding the body into the church. Pall bearers were young intermediate boys, Pressley McInnis, J F Green, Thomas White, Armond Rounsaville, and Adair Bearry. The large audience and huge floral offerings attested to the popularity of this lovely young girl and her fine family.
