Mr. Louis B. Jones, a prominent
merchant and respected and highly
esteemed citizen of Madison, passed
to ids eternal reward last Saturday
morning, at Ids home in that city,
the grim reaper’s tinal summons com
ing at '> o’clock that morning. Tire
news of Ids death caused a deep feel
ing of sadness to spread over tins
community, where Mr. Jones was well
known, as he was, indeed, throughout
the whole county and the surround
ing country
Mr Jones had been ill for about
eighteen day-, having been stricken
down with an attack of typhoid fever,
and though all that the best of med
ical skill, aided by tlie nursing of
kindly.l ring hands of the family and
friends, could do was done their lov
ing ministrations proved all f no
avail, and the gentle, kindly spirit of
Louis B Jones winged its way to
another vvt rid
Mr Jones was boru in Hardeman
county. Tennessee, April lsr.s He
moved to this state about twenty-tive
years ago, and since moving here
lived first in Lee county at Felton,
and then at Haynes. Later be moved
to this county, first living on the
I eck farm west of the city, and later
taking a position as manager of the
Graham farm, where he remained
up ..rui! the time he opened a business
in Madison four or live years ago. lie
was a faithful, consistent member of
II e Methodist church, having joined
that denomination about ten years
ago. He was also a member of the
Knights of Maccabees f ihe \V rid.
Woodmen of the World.and f the < >dd
Fellows, holding membership in the
lodges of these orders in tldscitj. and
as he was in his duties to his family,
iris friends and Iris community, so he
was in his church and lodge duties, a
devoted guide and protect-m
The funeral Sunday evening ut 2
o'clock, proceeded from hi> residence,
where presiding Elder J. K. Farri>
conducted the services, and interment
was had at the Madison cemetery,
where the services were under tire
auspic s .f Gei 1. Taylor Lodge No.
196. about forty r fo'ty-five members
of that lodge from this city attending
and carrying out tire beautiful ritual
ceremonies of their lodge.
Mr. Jones is survived by a heart1
bruken widow one s n, W T. Jones,
of Madison, and three daughters. Mrs.
E. ' ut’er, of Madison: Mrs Ed How
ard. of near Haynes, and Mr* E t ook.
of Mcltae.
The following gentlemen acted as
pal! bearers Mr. B. Fussell, of Forrest
City: Mr. Ollie Sherrod, Mr. Joe

Louis Jones was our friend. We
bad known him for many years, lie
was a patron of The Times, and was
as prompt to pay Lis subscription as
lie was his most sacred obligations.
Louis.Tones waspbysicallylarge,butliis
heart was as tender and sympathetic
as that of'a woman He was kindlv,
always had a pleasant greeting for
his friends or the stranger within our
gates. He was hospitable genial,
gentle, lovable man, a t rue gentleman
and friend. We regret his death mote
tban we can tell It is a calaimity to
our heart, and hi the hearts of all
who knew him well. We deeply sym
pathize with the family. Their U s,
; immeasuralby and unspeakably great
to them, he was next to God himself.
His place is vacant foreverm'Te No
thing can ever till it in ant walk f
life. We loved him well 1‘eace to
his s ail
In the death of Mr Jones his
family loses a kind devoted husband
and father, the community a good
citizen, and his intimates a 1 rati .
loyal friend, a man whose word was
as good as Ids bond. To those who
were close and dear to him, and to
whom his death comes as an almost
unbearable shock, we tender our deep
i sympathy and sincere condolence
| commending them to a merciful, all
wise Creator, whodoeth all tilings for,
the best, and in whom there is ever
i lasting peace for those who believe,and
: hate faith in Ids promise that death i,
, not the end. hut. that in a brighter
better land, the souls of our departed
i loved ones wait for us in i fairer
I better land where there is no more
sorrow and no more tears
