Mrs. Lottie Jones, Mother of 74 Living Offspring, Dies

NORFOLK - Mrs. Lottie Jones, a resident of Norfolk for 60 years, with 74 living
offsprings, died Tuesday, Feb. 27.

She had been a member of the Lamberts Point First Baptist Church for 49 years,
having joined there upon the invitation of Deacon Paul Holmes, when she was a
new resident of that section.  Her funeral was held at that church Sunday at 1
p.m.  Upon the invitation of the present pastor, the Rev. M. C. Southerland, the
Rev. J. Jasper Freeman, pastor of Queen Street Baptist Church, and former pastor
of the Lamberts Point church who was completely familiar with the life lived by
the deceased, participated in the funeral services.

Dr. Freeman eulogized her personally as a church woman, mother and true
Christian, holding faith “triumphantly to the end.”

Obituaries were read by Miss Alice Braye.  Solos were by Elmo Zachary and Mrs.
Lomba Haley.  Floral designs were numerous and beautiful.

The cortege, one of the largest witnessed here recently, passed serenely
landmarks familiar to Mrs. Jones.  Burial was in the family plot in Calvary
cemetery.

She was the daughter of Edward and Mrs. Maria Robinson.  Her father, an esteemed
citizen, was the first colored juryman of Blackstone county VA.  He moved to
Norfolk after the death of his wife.  

Mrs. Jones was the widow of the late James Jones, who was the father of her 13
children.  Ten of this number survive.  They are Mrs. Ethel Thomas, Nettie
Shambry, Kate Kindred, Mattie Dudley, Rosa Walker, Alice Price, Prisie Daniels,
Lorene Robinson, Esste Smalls, and Ulysses Jones.

Also surviving are 25 grandchildren;  21 great grandchildren;  18 great great
grandchildren, a sister, and a brother.
