Obituary: Mava JARMAN, wife of Joe JONES, who died at the Granite City
hospital at 4:40 a.m. Nov. 27th, was the sixth child of Mr. and Mrs. Wiley
JARMAN and was born near Staunton on January 29, 1881. On December 24,
1899 she was married to Joe JONES and three children were born to the union,
Eunice, Finis and John Paul, the youngest is aged 8 years. She was not a member 
of any church but took an active interest in a class of boys and girls which she
taught in the Christian Sunday School. Up until the time of her death she had not
feared that she would not survive the operation and in her last illness, as during
her life, she saw the brighter side of life. The funeral services were held from the
home on the afternoon of Nov. 29 and were conducted by Rev. E. N. GOFF,
pastor of the Presbyterian church. The services were largely attended. She leaves
to mourn her death her husband, three children, aged mother, two brothers,
Otis and Oscar JARMAN of this city; five sisters, Mrs. Chas. BALLMAN of
Electra, Texas; Mrs. T. R. THOMPSON, Mrs. R. D. DAMERON, Mrs. Beth
MESSERLY of this city, and Miss Martha JARMAN a trained nurse in Chicago,
besides a host of other relatives and many friends who have the sympathy of
the entire community. [Buried in Staunton City Cemetery]
