Holder p. Jones.

In the death of Holder P. Jones, at
his rooms in the Johnson Hotel, Tupelo
loses one its most popular young men.
While it was generally known that he
had been in poor health for the past
two years, yet his nearest friends did
not anticipate his death at this time.
A few weeks ago he returned from
Florida where he spent several months
with his brother, Lee Jones. Since his
return he had been in the country with
his father and sister, Mrs. Weaver,
near Gilvo, and but few knew that he
was at the hotel until his death was an
nounced.
Holder Jones vas a whole-soul, gener-
GUS and upright young Ia He was
~unassuming in his demeanor, but at all
times he was courteous and considerable
in all his dealings with his fellow man.
At no time did he hold malice towards
any one and died without an enemy in
the world.
He was born on June 10th, 1870, near
where the town OF Nettleton is, now
situated. With his parents he resided
in Verona, Shannon and Mooresville,
moving to Tupelo with the family in
1888. Since that time he has resided in
Tupelo and has held a number of places
of trust and honor with the business
men of this place. He was a man of
strict integrity and devoted to business
and was highly esteemed by his employ
ers, who recognized his fidelity to duty.
The remains were carried to Gilvo
cemetery, followed by a large number
of the friends Of the deceased from Tup-
elo. At the grave quite a number
from the neighborhood had gathered to
pay their last tribute of respect. Rev.
]. A. Preston conducted the funeral
services and spoke words of consolation
to the bereaved family. The body was
laid to rest by the side of his moth err,
who had preceded him to the grave
many years ago.
To the bereaved family the sympathy
of many friends is extended in which
