Headline:  F. A. Jones Was Buried Here on Tuesday P. M.

Sub-Headline:  Operated Furniture Store in Jena for Period of Nine Years

Funeral services were held on Tuesday afternoon for F. A. Jones, aged 69 
years, who passed away at the home of his son, Lloyd Jones, in Jena on 
Tuesday afternoon.  Mr. Jones had been in ill health for sometime and his 
death, while probably not unexpected, caused widespread grief among his many 
friends through this section. 

He came to Jena about nine years ago from Houston, Texas, and opened up the 
Jena Furniture Store, which he successfully operated up until the time of his 
death.  He was a member of the Methodist Church and had always identified 
himself with the civic life of the city and could always be depended upon to 
do his part in any public undertaking.

The funeral services were held at his son's home, interment following in the 
Nolly Memorial Cemetery.  Rev. L. D. Posey, pastor of the Baptist Church and 
Rev. A. S. J. Neill, pastor of the Methodist Episcopal Church, officiated and 
quite a large crowd of friends were present to pay their last respects to his 
memory.

Surviving the deceased are one son, Lloyd Jones, of Jena and one daughter, 
Mrs. R. M. White, of Helena, Arkansas.  One brother, Len Jones, of Jena and 
three sisters, Mrs. O. L. Marvin, Jonesville, Mrs. M. E. Brown, Sicily Island 
and Mrs. T. N. Nickles, of Washington, Mississippi, also are left to mourn 
his passing.

The Jena Times joins with the rest of the citizenship of this section in 
extending sincere sympathy to the bereaved family of this good man.
