The Georgia Enterprise, February 18, 1892
DEATH’S SAD ROLL
     Miss MARY LIZZIE JONES, daughter of the late Major JOHN F. JONES, and 
sister of WILLIAM, JAMES and FRANK JONES, of Early County, died in Florida one 
day last week. She was a most charming  young lady, loved and admired by all 
who knew her. She was known all over the State as the “Second Daughter of the 
Third Georgia Regiment.” Her remains were brought to Atlanta for burial. Miss 
JONES accompanied the Third Georgia Veterans to the last re-union of the 
Hawkins Zouaves, in New York, and made friends and won admirers by her sweet 
disposition and gentle manners. Her father went to the war with the first 
company from Newton County, early in 1861, was Captain of Co. H., for a time 
and promoted to the rank of Major of the Historic old Third Georgia. He lost an 
arm on the field of battle. After the war, up to the time of his death, he held 
a position in the Comptroller General’s office in Atlanta. His precious 
daughter was the pet and pride of all his comrades and was loved by every 
surviving member of his regiment, all of whom mourn in sorrow her untimely 
death.
