Death of Velma Jones

The community in which Mr. and Mrs. Seaborn Jones live was shocked on last 
Friday by the sudden death of Miss Velma Jones, the sixteen-year-old daughter 
of Mr. and Mrs. Jones, which occurred at their home about eight miles southwest 
of Talbotton.

Miss Jones got up in the morning feeling as well as usual, and went to the 
field and assister her father and others in picking cotton.  About ten o’clock 
she complained of feeling badly and went to the house.  She was there about 
fifteen minutes when she entered her room and laid down, thinking she would 
soon feel better.  She was suddenly seized with several pains in her heart and 
stomach and died in two or three minutes.

Miss Jones was a young lady who had many friends, and her death was a great 
shock to the community.  The remains were brought to Talbotton Saturday 
afternoon and interred in Oak Hill Cemetery, Rev. Francis McCullough 
officiating.  The funeral was largely attended, a testimonial of the high 
esteem in which the young lady was held. 

Mr. and Mrs. Jones have the sympathy of their friends in Talbotton and Talbot 
County in their sad bereavement.
