The Cairo Messenger, Friday, June 20, 1919
William O. Jones Passes Away

On Saturday night, June 7th, the death angel called for him and he answered the 
summons and was hidden to come up higher.

He was born August 2, 1849; died June 7th, 1919, 70 years of age next 
birthday.  He was married to Miss Kate McNair in November 1882; six children 
were born unto them, one son and five daughters; two daughters having passed on 
before, one in infancy and Mrs. C. P. Maxwell in 1911.

He was a charter member of Calvary Baptist church; deacon of the church for a 
number of years.  Born, reared and reared his family on the same farm.  He 
leaves a wife, one son, E. P. Jones, of Grady county, three daughters, Mrs. R. 
L. Sellers, Mrs. J. Tyler Maxwell, of Grady and Mrs. E. J. Smith of Quincy, 
Florida; two brothers, N. F. and S. D. Jones of Whigham; one sister, Mrs. Ruth 
Butler of Reno.

Funeral services were conducted at the home on Sunday afternoon by his pastor 
Rev. N. G. Christopher and the body was laid to rest in the Cedar Grove 
Cemetery near Climax.

Many kind and gracious things might be said about him.  His home was one where 
peace and joy and love abounded.  He was a man who provided well for his 
family.  He was a man who stood well in his community and was held in the 
highest esteem by all who knew him.  For a number of years, he was affected 
with partial blindness and for many years he suffered with palsy, but through 
it all he was patient and kind.  He was a man who loved his Lord and loved the 
church.  He leaves an influence in the world for good that will bless many 
hearts.  He has gone to be with his Lord forever.
