William Henry JONES 

  PROMINENT CITIZEN'S FUNERAL. - The funeral of Mr. William Henry Jones, 
of the county, who died Tuesday night, took place at 3 o'clock yesterday 
afternoon from Holy Neck Christian Church, of which he was a member.  The 
services were largely attended, several relatives from Suffolk and from a 
distance being present.  The deceased had been in feeble health for several 
years and his demise was not a surprise, death resulting from a general 
failure of the vital organs rather than any specific disease.  He was 79 
years old. 

  Mr. Jones was possessed of a large estate and was well-known throughout 
this section, with whose best interests he has been identified for many 
years.  He leaves eight children - Mrs. Susie Holland, relict of the late 
Charles E. Holland, of Suffolk; Mrs. Willis Lee and Mrs. Reps Williamson, 
of Lower Parish; an unmarried daughter, Ruth, 8 years old; Mr. W.H. Jones, 
Jr., cashier of the Farmers' Bank in Suffolk; Mr. R.E. Jones, of Winston, 
N.C.; Mr. Benjamin F. Jones, of Waycross, Ga.; Mr. Thomas Jones, of Norfolk.
