Impressive funeral services for the late Mrs. Bertha Copeland Jones of 542 East
Bute Street, who died at her home Monday, March 16, following an illness of more
than a year, were conducted at the Holy Temple Church, Chapel Street, of which
she was a member, Friday of last week by the Rev. J. H. Green, pastor of
Bethlehem Church of Christ’s Disciples.  Mrs. Jones, a native of Winton, NC, had
been a resident of Norfolk since 1910.  In May of 1914 she was married to
Sanders Jones of this city.

The deceased was described as one who “bore her afflictions with patience, was
kind and loving to her family, and ready to say something about the goodness of
the Lord.”  The Rev. J. A. Young, pastor of St. John’s A. M. E. Church, and the
Rev. O. T. Diggs of the St. Thomas A. M. E. Zion Church, also participated in
the final rites.

Mrs. Jones is survived by her husband, her parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Copeland
of Enfield, NC;  two children by a former marriage, Charlie Copeland, 28, of New
York City, and Miss Alberta Copeland, 26;  a brother, M. C. Copeland, of New
