JONES, Edith - {from Highfill} The death angel has again entered our midst and claimed little Edith Jones, daughter of the late Bailey Jones, who died at the home of her sister, Mrs. Newt Douglas, of Lincoln, Ark. Oct. 10, 1913, aged 11 years and 7 months. Little Edith was operated on for appendicitis but was not able to withstand the operation, dying the next morning. Her mother died on March 2, 1912 and her father, Bailey Jones, died March 26, 1913, both dying with pneumonia, leaving 7 children, some grown and some small, Edith being the baby. She was a sweet little girl, loved by all who knew her. We know it is awfully hard to give her up. She leaves several brothers and sisters to mourn for her besides a host of relatives and friends. The funeral was conducted by the Rev. John Scroggins of Decatur at the church at Vaughn, then tenderly laid to rest in the Barron cemetery beside her father and mother to await the resurrection morn. We extend sympathy to the bereaved family in their hour of trouble.
