Two years following their marriage, Dr. and Mrs. Jones moved from Tennessee to this state, locating in Conway County, where the resided for some 12 years, when they moved to Scotland, this county, it being the home of both until time of their deaths.
"Grandma" professed faith in Christ and identified herself with the missionary Baptist Church more than 60 years ago, and her life ever afterwards was a daily testimonial of the faith she professed. She was indeed a good woman and will be sadly missed, but the influence of her life will never die.
To her and her husband, 12 children were born, eight of whom survive. These have the profound sympathy of inumerable friends here and elsewhere.
