Jones, born 22 Sep 1841 [I believe this is incorrect], departed the walks of life 13 Jul 1945. This making him 93 years, 9 months and 9 days old. Uncle Jim was never married. He formerly lived with his sister, Mollie Jones at Exie, Ky. After his sister's death he lived with his nephew, Ross Jones and family until God saw fit to call him home. Uncle Jim will be keenly missed by his nephew and family, because of his loving disposition. Uncle Jim has many friends who will mourn his passing because he always had time to speak and fellowship with all. He enjoyed reading Religious Literature and going to church was one of his greatest desires. He professed faith in Christ in early life and united with Beech Hill Methodist church to which he was always loyal. He leaves to mourn his passing one brother, Johnny Jones, Greensburg, Ky., 2 sisters-in-law, Mrs. Sallie Jones and Mrs. Dee Jones both of Greensbu! rg, Ky. He also leaves a host of nephews and nieces, great nephews and nieces who loved and cherished him while living. Uncle Jim lived anice little while here on God's Earth, and enjoyed the fullness thereof. But he is gone now to enjoy greater things prepared for him by his Heavenly Father. Just a while before his passing, he left these words: "I have lived to die, and now to live again, I must die." Funeral services were held at the Jones cem., 14 Jul. Rev. Less Walker had charge of the services. Obituaries of Green Co. Ky., Vol. 2, compiled by Eunice Montgomery Wright, p. 105 1860 Green Co. Ky. Census, transcribed by Ruth M.
