Jones as written in "The Camilla Enterprise" dated 29 Mar 1935. Mr. O. D. Jones, well known farmer of this county who lived on the Middleton Place near Pine Cliff church, died Monday, 25 Mar 1935, afternoon following an illness of only a few days. He became ill Friday, suffering from a form of indigestion. His condition was not considered serious at first, but when he continued to grow worse the family became alarmed and everything possible was done to bring him relief, but to no avail. The end came at 1:00 PM Monday. The announcement of his death came as a shock to hundreds of friends throughout this county, where the deceased was reared and was held in high esteem. Although most of his life was spent on a farm, he was for several years a resident of Camilla, where he served as a police and sanitary officer at different times. He had numerous friends and was always ready to serve them. He was also generous and sympathetic toward those in distress and ready to extend a helping hand. Mr. Jones was 54 years of age, the son of Mr. W. H. Jones Sr., of this place. He is survived by his wife, who was Miss Mattie Palmer before her marriage, and five children, one son and four daughters as follows: Mrs. C. L. Joiner, Mr. Durant Jones, Mrs. T. A. Rogers, Mrs. Robert Bullard and Miss Martha Jones, all of this county. The deceased is also survived by his father, Mr. W. H. Jones Sr., and two brothers, Messrs. F. A. and T. W. Jones. He was a member of Pleasant hill Baptist Church. Funeral services were held at Pleasant Hill Tuesday, 26 Mar 1935, afternoon at 3:00 PM, Rev Robert Bass and Rev Tom Richeter, officiating at the services.
