Jones Family Reunion of 1901
Father and Seven Children Meet in Waco After a Separation of 35 Years
The Convention of the Christian Church in this city last week furnished the occasion for a family reunion which was enjoyed with intense delight by the participants.
Mabra Madden Jones, who lives near Palestine, Texas met seven of his children in this city and the father, brothers, and sisters spent the week together. It was the first time they had all been together since 1866, thirty-five years ago. Atat time the youngest was only six years old and the oldest was twenty-five. All had seen each other since that time but at different times and places.
The elder Jones is eighty-one years old and his children, seven in number, all live in Texas, but in different parts are as follows:
Dr. George W Jones of Proctor, Texas
Mrs. Sue M. Linthicum, 618 Earle St, East Waco
Mrs. Mary M. Moore, 1102 Columbus St, Waco
Cyrus Y. Jones, 575 Orleans St, Beaumont, Tx
Stephen L. Jones, 701 So. 17th St, Waco
Andrew P. Jones, Helbig, Jefferson Co, Texas
Henry M Jones, Palestine, Tx
Mabra Madden Jones, father of the five sons and two daughters named above, was born in Kentucky, in 1820. He moved to Missouri and in 1840 was married to Miss Sarah Lovelady, daughter of Elder James Lovelady. In 1844 he removed to Texas staying in Cass Co. until 1847, when he proceeded to Victoria, only a few months after the Indians made their last famous raid to the coast country and burned Linnville, five miles south of Victoria. He soon accumulated some capital at the blacksmith business and invested in cattle, establishing a ranch in Goliad Co. His first wife, Sarah, the mother of these seven children, died in DeWitt Co. in 1860 and in 1863 he married Miss Martha Ponton in Lavaca Co. Nine children blessed this union, seven of whom are still living.
At the close of the war between the States, the children of the first marriage separated and while they all remained in Texas; some of them are now living four hundred miles apart. They have occasionally visited each other, and all have visited their father; though this is the first reunion of the family. The father and the eldest son had not seen one another in twenty-four years. George, Cyrus and Henry had not seen one another in twenty-six years. All the others had not met in the last ten years.
The week had been passed in one continual and unbroken round of pleasure in which grand children and great grand children participated.
The father and seven children were photographed in a group and another interesting group was made with the Elder M.M. Jones, his daughter, Mrs. S.M. Linthicum, her daughter, Mrs. Runie M. Moore, and Mrs. Moore's daughter, Miss Ollie representing four generations.
The reunion will adjourn today, but the family recorded a pledge that if possible it shall be repeated every year in the future.
