JONES, G. ELIZABETH
(22 Aug 1918, Elk City Newspaper, Elk City, Beckham Co, OK):
WOMAN DROWNS
Miss Lizzie Jones, who has been living with her brother, Chas. Jones seven
miles southeast of Elk City was found Tuesday morning in the pond on that
place, life being extinct.  She had been in poor health, suffering from
pellegra for several years, which preyed on her mind so much that it is
thought in great despondency she threw herself in the pond.  She was about
sixty years of age, and was a sister of Chas. and Clem Jones and Mrs.
Proctor.  She was born and raised in Hopkins County, Texas, but had lived
in Oklahoma for about twenty years.
Funeral services were held Tuesday afternoon, and interment made at the
Ural Cemetery, by the side of her father Jack Jones, who died about four
years ago.
Miss Jones was loved by all who knew her, and was one who stood high in
the neighborhood where she lived, and wherever she was known.  Her death
caused much sorrow among her friends and relatives, who are receiving the
sincere sympathy of all.
