MRS. ANNIE HARRIS JONES
(Contributed(

(Contributed)
Mrs. Annie Harris Jones, wife OF
Augustus l.. Jones, passed away at
her home in Pembroke of diabetes,
Friday evening at sos o'clock, Octo-
Der %, 1921.
Mrs. Jones was born August 16,
1884, nine miles north of Auburndale
She united with the Baptist church
when young girl and had lived a
Christian life.
She was i'll for more than a year.
Everything that loving hands and
medical aid did was no avail. Her
father was from a large and we'll
known family. Her mother, father
and only sister had preceded her to
the grave.
The interment took place in the
Baptist cemetery at her old home on
Sabbath morning. Rev. Sloan, from
a distance, who had baptized her, con-
Quoted the funeral exercises, reading
the scripture and making comforting
remarks to the bereaved family and
lots of lifelong friends and neigh
bors from Pembroke, who had gath
cred to pay their last respects to the
deceased
Her husband and brothers cherish
her memory with great love and at
lection. The, floral offerings were
many and beautiful attesting to the
many friends, which she, in her short
stay, made at Pembroke, and who sor-
row at her death.
The sympathy of the entire COM
munity goes out to Mr.. Jones in his
sad bereavement.
Messrs John, Arthur, Lon and Por-
ter Harris, all of Lakeland, are her
brothers who are left to mourn her
death.
The pall-bearers were Messrs. R.
w. Martin, c. A. Dayvault, I. W. Ba
ker, G.. B. Surrency, Ira Mills and
Luther Mills. Others were unable to
be present. These were neighbors of
Mr.. Jones at Pembroke.
