The Lake Odessa Wave, Friday, April 8, 1921
Word passed along Thursday morning that Mrs. A. L. Jones had died Wednesday 
night at 12 o’clock.  Although Mrs. Jones had been in poor health for a long 
time, no one expected the end to come so soon.  Her mind has been bad and 
required a woman’s care for the past winter.  She also had trouble with her 
heart.  On Wednesday she went to the Lepard division meeting of the M. E. Aid 
society held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Guy Lapo.  She seemed to enjoy the 
meeting with these ladies and when they closed their meeting they sang “God Be 
With You ‘Till We Meet Again” after which Mrs. Jones said, “I cannot sing but 
I can pray” and then offered a splendid prayer.  Many of the ladies spoke of 
the incident and it has occurred to them as a fitting closing of her life as 
she remarked upon leaving that she hoped that all might meet again where there 
would be no sorrow.

For many years Mrs. Jones was an active member of the Methodist church here 
and in her younger days was a splendid chaperone for groups of girls at a 
summer’s outing.  She was a loyal member of the W.C.T.U. for years and several 
who had no home were taken by Mr. and Mrs. Jones and treated as an own 
daughter.

Besides a husband she leaves a son at St. Louis, Missouri who recently 
underwent a serious operation.  The funeral will be held at 2:30 Sunday 
afternoon at the M. E. Church.
