H. Fitzpatrick, on Main Street, occurred the death of Mrs. Alice Richter Jones. Her illness was brief. She suffered a slight stroke of paralysis several days before her death, which was followed by other attacks until the end came. Her family and physician and anxious friends nursed her tenderly during her illness, but at no time did her condition ever respond to nursing or treatment. The remains were interred in the family lot of the city cemetery Thursday morning at ten o’clock conducted by Rev. T. R. Kendall Jr., of the Methodist church, who read the burial service, followed by prayer by Rev. A. W. Quillian. A choir composed of Mrs. W. A. Perkins, Mrs. J. F. Boughton, Mr. C. M. Furlow and Mr. E. G. Atkinson sang “Sweet By and By” and “Safe in the Arms of Jesus.” The pall bearers were Messrs. Lovic Ponder, C. H. Baldwin, J. B. Thomas, W. E. Sheperd, Paul Ponder and W. T. Bacon. Mrs. Jones had lived out her allotted years of three-score and ten, being seventy years old. She was a native of South Carolina, removing to Georgia in early life. Her maiden name was Alice Daniel, the lamented W. R. Daniel being her brother. She was married in early life to John C. Richter, of Madison, and the greater part of her life was spent at Reese, where a family of two daughters and three sons were reared. Mr. Richter died about fifteen years ago. A son, Milton Abbott, died while a child and Mary Richter Pierce, the eldest daughter, and a woman of superb personality and character, died some eighteen or twenty years ago. Surviving children are Mrs. H. H. Fitzpatrick, of Madison, Mr. W. C. Richter, of Waco, Tex., Mr. R. D. Richter, of Eatonton, Ga., and Mr. J. C. Richter of Madison. There are many close relatives and many friends who are bereaved by reason of the death of this good woman. Few women in this entire section were so well known and so generally loved as Mrs. Jones. She was a woman of great force of personality and character. She took an active and helpful interest in all things about her and was never so happy as when rendering some useful service to those about her. She was not only industrious but was accomplished to a marked degree. Her hands were never idle. She knew how to do many things and did them all well. Her home in Reese was famed throughout this section for its hospitality and was a Mecca for young people of this city and section during the period if the young lady hood and young manhood of the children of the home. Her interest in her home and her loved ones found expression in the finest and most obiding service, and as home-maker, neighbor and friend she measured up to the highest standard of excellence. All through this section are men and women who will always love to recall the home at Reese – it cordiality and it openhanded hospitality, where this good woman in her unselfishness was the interested center and setting of the home. She was a member of the Madison Presbyterian Church, and a pious God-loving and God-serving woman, who has gone to receive the crown of a well-spent life. Copyright John R.
