                        Mrs. John L. Jones Succumbs On 76th Anniversary

  Kimble county friends were saddended Saturday when the news spread rapidly that
Mrs. Lucy Elizabeth Jones, wife of the late John L. Jones had died in San Antonio
after a brief illness.  She had been in ill health many months, but suffered a
stroke the day before her death.  The body was prepared for burial and funeral 
services were held at the Hagy-McCollum-Murray Funeral Chapel in San Antonio,
Sunday afternoon at 1:30 o'clock with Rev. J. E. Dekle officiating.  Interment was
made in Red Creek cemetery under the direction of the Schreiner-Hodges Co.
  The following grandsons were pallbearers:
  Lemuel Jones, Jack Jones, Billy Braley, Cecil and C. C. Smith and A. J. Lindsay.
  Mrs. Jones was born in Bandera county July 29, 1863, being 76 years old on the day
of her death.  Preparations were being made by members of her family for her 
anniversary celebration, but she told them that instead of a celebration they would
hold her funeral.  Seldom does a person die on the date of their birth.
  On January 1, 1880, she and John L. Jones were married.  They moved to Kimble county
where they spent the greater part of their lives.  After the death of her husband, Mrs.
Jones moved to Junction for a few years and then to San Antonio where she lived at
134 North Drive for 12 years.
  She is survived by one son, Tom Jones, Junction; two daughters, Mrs. Wes Smith,
Mason and Mrs. Lola Jones Braley, San Antonio, and other relatives.
  Mrs. Jones was a member of the Baptist Church and of the old Trail Drivers Association.
Before moving to San Antonio, she was a member of the Order of Eastern Star.  In the
home-going of Mrs. Jones, another one of the true pioneer citizens is gone.  No one was
quicker to repond to the cries of the needy than Mrs. Jones.  Her influence for good,
will continue to live in the lives of those with whom she came in contact.  A truly
good woman has gone to her reward.
