   James Thomas Jones, an aged and highly respected farmer died Sunday
morning at his home five miles west of Nelson, Missouri from the effects
of a stroke of paralysis after a short illness.  The death was quite a
shock to many friends of the deceased who had not heard of his illness.
   Funeral services were conducted at the Nelson Baptist Church at 3
o'clock Monday evening by Rev. J.S. Smith of Napton.  A quartette
composed of J.L. Stouffer, June Baker, Charles and Simeon Spriggs, all
of near Napton rendered several beautiful selections.  The funeral was
attended by a large number of sympathizing friends and relatives of the
family.  Burial Services by the local Masonic lodge, of which the
deceased was a member, were conducted at Nelson Cemetery immediately
following.
   James Thomas Jones was born January 8, 1842 and died November 8,

the Confederate Army and was a member of Pickett's Brigade.  He was in
the famous "Pickett's Charge," made at Gettyburg.
   He moved to Saline County, Missouri in 1868 and was married October
23, 1873 to Mary Alice Martin who survives him.  To this union 13
