Remains Of Private Jones Arrives From Camp Upton

On Tuesday afternoon the remains of Mr. Gordon L. Jones arrived in Butler and
were taken to the home of the young man’s father, Mr. F.C. Jones who resides
about six miles south of Butler.  The funeral and interment took place Wednesday
morning at Mt. Pisgah church and cemetery, Rev. John Locke officiating.

Mr. Jones, who was only 18 years of age enlisted in the army service in November
1919, at Thomaston and was immediately sent to Camp Upton, N.Y.  About two weeks
ago he contracted pneumonia which caused his death on February 4th.  The body
was prepared for burial and Sergeant L.B. Samms detailed to accompany the
remains.  Sergeant Samms, was very attentive in his service to his unfortunate
comrade and exceedingly courteous to the relatives of the deceased and in so
doing made many friends on his short visit here.

The family have the sympathy of their many friends in this hour of grief and
sadness.
