JONES, W.A.O. - W.A.O. Jones, former judge of Benton County, died at his home in Rogers early Sunday morning at the age of 83 years. Complications of old age, from which he had been ill for several months, was the cause of his death. Mr. Jones served as county judge from 1911 to 1913 and it was during his term of office the county jail was built by Contractor L.A. Pace. He made the race for a second term but was defeated and wrongly so as some of the old timers state. He also served as a justice of the peace and for some years managed the Commercial Hotel in Rogers. Judge Jones was a native of Tennessee and moved to Benton County shortly after he was married. Mr. and Mrs. Jones celebrated their golden wedding sixteen years ago. His widow, Mrs. Edna Jones, survives him; also two nieces and several nephews including John W. Nance, well known Rogers attorney. The funeral was held from the home Tuesday afternoon and was largely attended. Burial was made in the Oakley Chapel cemetery.
