Submitted by: Houston Tracy Jr

The Colfax Chronicle
May 5, 1932

Former librarian, Helen Sorrell, at the Grant Parish Library had gone through
some of the microfilm of the newspaper files of the Chronicle and made copies
of obituaries and/or news items, which led to death.
These were found in a folder on the book shelf at that library on a research
trip there 13 February 1999.
Copies were made and then extracted to post here in the LaGenWeb archives for
Grant and Caddo Parishes.

     Funeral services were held at the home of W.J.B. Jones, for his father,
William R. Jones, prominent Colfax citizen, on Thursday, April 28, 1932. 
Interment followed in the Fairfield cemetery at 4 o'clock that afternoon.
     At the time of his death, Mr. Jones was 63 years, 11 months and 17 days. 
He has been in ill health for a considerable time and though naturally a shock
to family and friends, his death came not unexpected to them.  He passed away
after being removed from the sanitarium in Shreveport, La.
     Mr. Jones was born and reared in Tennessee and moved to Grant Parish, La.
in 1907.  In July of 1923, he moved to Colfax, La. where he established a
general merchandising store and here made many friends, who will regret his
passing very much.
     The deceased is survived by his wife, Mrs. W.R. Jones, two sons: W.J.B.
Jones and G.W. Jones, both of Colfax; two brothers: C.G. jones of Grant Parish
and L.F. Jones of Palestine, Arkansas; and one sister, Mrs. Ida Young of
