The letter from Mr. Coy e: Dudgeon
of Lebanon, appearing in this issue of
the News is one of the many similar
tenders of liberal and hearty support
of our suggested plan proposing an
early monument to be erected fitting
memorial to our heroes of the late
war. Such monument as is proposed
would show to the parents whose sons
fell upon the foreign field that they
were not forgotten by the people of
Adair county. Furthermore, gigan-
tic shaft appropriately inscribed. erect
ed at a suitable place, near the public
square, in Columbia, would be an act
that is due the heroic dead, and would
mark Adair with the other generous
and heartfelt counties of the State

INEVITABLE.
Mrs. Ann Jones, Beloved Wife Of
DR.. J. 7. Jones. Peacefully
Crossed 10 the Other Side.
FUNERAL and BURIAL PLEASANT HILL.

Last Monday morning, December
%, 1918, death invaded the home of
DR.. j. T. Jones, who lives on the STAN
ford pike, one and quarter miles
from Columbia, and removed his de-
voted wife. The demise of this good
woman was not wholly unexpected, as
she had been seriously afflicted for
three or four weeks. She was at first
attacked with the flu which developed
into pneumonia, death following.
The deceased was slxty-five years old
last June, and was daughter of Jesse
and Susan Murrell. She was reared
within one mile uf where she died.
Besides her immediate family she is
survived by two brothers, Simeon and
Alfred Murrell, and one sister, Mrs.
Maggie Mccormack, of Bowling
Green.
The deceased was a consecrated
Christian and had been from her early
girlhood, a loving and devoted COM
duO oil oACSIlOuoOO IhOOilOA'
Her husband, who is also afflicted and
on the shady side OF life, and her de-
voted children have lost their best
friend, but if they follow the teach
ings of their Master, after awhile
there will be reunion, and then they
will be made to understand what is
sorely hard to bear now. A good wife
and a loving mother is priceless jew
ell, and only those who have experience
ed a like separation knows how to
sympathize with the sorrowing hus-
band and children, brothers and sis
ter.
Besides the husband, the deceased
is survived by the following children;
Mrs. j. C. Clayton, Montpelier; Mrs.
A. o. Taylor, Columbia, Mrs. J. A.
Williams, near Columbia, DR.. R. A.
Jones, Cincinnati, DR.. Almon Jones
and Chesley Jones, Liberal, Kansas,
and Mr.. Alfred Jones, who is at pres,
sent located at Camp Taylor, and a
number of grand children.
This community feels the tenderest
sympathy for all those who have been
so sorely bereft
The funeral discourse was preached
by the deceased's life long friend, Ed.
F. ]. Barger, who was assisted by Ed.
z. T. Williams Tuesday afternoon at
Pleasant Hill Church, and the inter.
ment was in the church cemetery.
Both ministers paid high tribute to
the life and character of the departed,
she having been faithful member OF
the Christian Church for many years
