PAUL MURDOCK JONES

MILITARY HONORS AT SUFFOLK FUNERAL OF PAUL M. JONES

   Suffolk, April 26 - With his casket draped in the National colors, and his 
comrades bearing him to his grave, the funeral services of the late Paul 
Murdock Jones, whose death was such a shock to his young friends of this city, 
were held this afternoon at the Oxford M.E. Church.  The services were 
conducted by Rev. Ernest Stevens and appropriate music was rendered by the 
choir.

   The Suffolk military company, the drum corps, and scores of comrades of the 
deceased who served with him in France, acted as escort.  At the grave, the 
burial was conducted with full military honors.  There were scores of handsome 
floral designs, among them being one of special beauty, sent by the men of 
Company F.

   The pallbearers were chosen from the ranks of the company.  Interment was 
in Cedar Hill cemetery.
