TWO AGED RESIDENTS, SISTERS, PASS AWAY—MRS. AMELIA BELL DIES IN ST. AUGUSTINE, 
MRS. SARAH JONES IN JACKSONVILLE.

Two of Brunswick’s oldest residents, sisters, well known and beloved by [a] 
wide circle of friends, are dead.  One, Mrs. Amelia A. Bell, passed away at 11 
o’clock Sunday morning in St. Augustine, Fla., where she had been residing for 
some time, and the other, Mrs. Sarah Jones, died at 8 o’clock this morning at 
the residence of her daughter, Mrs. May Couillard [sic], in Jacksonville, who 
she had been visiting for the past two months.

Mrs. Bell has made her home in Brunswick practically all of her life removing 
to St. Augustine about two years ago to reside with one of her children.  She 
was 75 years of age and was known and loved by an unusually large number of 
friends.

She is survived by the following children:  Mrs. E.A. Petticord, of St. Cloud, 
Fla., Mrs. B.J. Goldwire, of Philadelphia, M.T. Bell, of Jacksonville, H.M., 
J.B. and George Bell, of Brunswick, Mrs. A.A. Bourgoise, of Shreveport, Mrs. 
M.E. Dart, of Brunswick, Jno. D. Bell, of St. Augustine.  She is also survived 
by a large number of grandchildren.

The body arrived in the city this afternoon over the Atlantic Coast Line and 
was borne to the residence of H.M. Bell, 2301 Atlantic avenue, from where the 
funeral will take place.  Definite funeral arrangements have not been 
completed, pending the arrival of relatives in the city, but it will be held 
sometime tomorrow afternoon.

Mrs. Jones, sister of the deceased, died in Jacksonville this morning, 
following a short illness.  She was 89 years of age and has resided in 
Brunswick and Glynn county all of her life.  For many years she has lived here 
with her daughter, Mrs. W.A. Hackett, on Sycamore street, Windsor Park.

Mrs. Jones was a life long member of St. Mark’s Episcopal church, and she, 
too, was known and loved by an unusually wide circle of friends.  The body 
will arrive in the city today.

The deceased is survived by four children, Mrs. May Coullard [sic], of 
Jacksonville; Mrs. Edgar Foust, Tampa; Mrs. W.E. Evans, Miami, and Mrs. W.A. 
Hackett, of this city.

Funeral arrangements likewise have not been completed, but it was stated that 
the funeral also would probably be held tomorrow morning.

AGED SISTERS ARE LAID TO REST IN BRUNSWICK TODAY

The funeral of Mrs. Sarah Jones, beloved Brunswick woman, whose death occurred 
yesterday in Jacksonville, where she was visiting, was held this morning at 
11:30 o’clock from the residence of her daughter, Mrs. W.A. Hackett, in 
Windsor Park.  Rev. Royal K. Tucker, pastor of St. Mark’s Episcopal church, in 
which the deceased worshipped for a long period of years, read the impressive 
Episcopal burial ritual, after which the remains of this dear old lady were 
tenderly borne to Oak Grove cemetery and laid to its final resting place 
beside those of her husband.

The pall bearers were L.A. Robinson, Eugene Dill, M.I. Dart, W.R. Smith, 
Thomas Hackett, and R.H. Everett.

The funeral of Mrs. Amelia Bell, sister of Mrs. Jones, who died in St. 
Augustine Sunday, was held this afternoon at 2:30 o’clock also from St. Mark’s 
Episcopal church, and again a large number of sorrowing friends were present 
to pay a last tribute of respect to this beloved old resident of Brunswick.

Many of the children and grandchildren of deceased, residing in various 
sections of the country, were in the city to attend the funeral.  The 
interment was in Palmetto cemetery.
