JONES, John H. – John H. Jones died June 13th, 1901, buried June 14th at Friendship. Born April 8th, 1841, at Jonesville, Lee County, VA. Married July 21st, 1868 to Miss Mary Loughmiller, of Knoxville, Tenn. Shortly after marriage he moved to Arkansas, living in Madison County for about a year. Since then he has been a citizen of Washington County. As a citizen he was law-abiding and always on the side of good morals. John Jones was a quiet unassuming man, attending always to his own business. As a result he was a prosperous farmer, honored and respected by his neighbors. He leaves a great number of friends and relatives who feel deeply their loss. But we sorrow not without hope. At the age of 16 he professed a hope in Christ and joined a Baptist Church. The writer knows something of his life as a christian and church member for the past few years. He was faithful to all the interests of the church and pastor, supporting the services by his presence and his money. During his long illness he suffered much but his hope of rest was his strongest support. He often said that it would not be long until he could rest and that he would not give his "little hope" in God for all things else. It must be sweet in the dying hour to feel the presence of God, and to be "carried by the angels into rest". When God is with us, "O death where is they sting, O grave, where is they victory." I.M. Phillips.
