B. P. JONES' DEATH SHOCK TO TAYLOR 
 COUNTY FRIENDS
             


 Funeral Services Today for Highly Esteemed Reynolds
Citizen, Rural Mail Carrier, Farmer and Well             
 Known Churchman.



Following an illness of only one week Mr. Bailey Pope
Jones died at his home at Reynolds yesterday afternoon
about three o'clock.  No man in the community was held
in greater esteem that was Mr. Jones and announcement
of whose death has cast a gloom over the county.

Mr. Jones was born in Taylor county Dec. 21, 1883, the
son of the late Mr. Samuel P. and Mrs. Georgia Amerson
Jones.  He is survived by his wife, the former Miss
Myrtle Rhodes, of Butler; three children, Roy, Edwin
and Virginia Jones; one brother, Mr. R. A. Jones, of
Jacksonville, Fla.; one sister, Mrs. Lizzie Roberson,
also of Jacksonville; and a large number of other near
relatives.

Funeral services will be conducted at the Jones
residence in Reynolds at 3 o'clock this afternoon with
interment at Hill Crest Cemetery.  Rites will be
conducted by prominent readers of the Christian
Science Church, of Macon, of which Mr. Jones was a
devout member.

As citizen, farmer, churchman and rural letter carrier
connected with the Reynolds post office Mr. Jones was
one of the most outstanding residents of the county.
He was a man well informed on national and state
issues though seemingly taking very little interest in
matters politically.  As a student of the Bible he had
but few equals and was very conversant on religious
subjects. 

The Herald joins hosts of other friends in extending
sincere sympathy to the loved ones of this truly good
man in this their saddest hour in his untimely
passing.
