Wellington Leader December 18, 1980
Mrs. E.W. Jones, who worked closely with her husband, the late Dr. E.W. Jones, through more than 40 years that he practiced medicine in Wellington, died in Amarillo Thursday, December 11. Her health had been failing since April, but before that she continued to participate in activities that were part of her life in the 16 years she lived in Amarillo.
Mrs. Jones, the former Nell Broyles, was born at Graham August 3, 1892 and came to Dodson from Quanah as a bride in 1913. Shortly afterward Dr. Jones began his practice in Wellington.
Few women have been so concerned of their husband's medical practice. She went with him on house calls to many parts of the county and in those early years she assisted him in surgery and x-ray.
She assisted Dr. Jones as the old Wellington Hospital was established. During the darkest days of the depression and dustbowl, she planned and built the older portion of the present hospital, which gave work to many unemployed men of the county. In 1938, with the county again turning toward prosperity, Mrs. Jones worked with her husband to transfer the hospital to the Dominican Order of the Catholic Church, which operated it until the early 1970s.
Mrs. Jones was a charter member and president of the Hattie Hunt Medical Auxiliary and was an early member of the 1924 Study Club. She was a member of the Polk Street Methodist Church.
She remained in the background in many of the organizations with which she worked, the St. Joseph's Hospital Auxiliary, American Legion Auxiliary and others.
Also during the 1930s, Dr. and Mrs. Jones kept in their home boys living in the rural areas so they could continue their education and play football here.
When Dr. Jones retired from practice in Wellington in 1955, the couple moved to Lubbock, where he died. In 1964 Mrs. Jones moved to Amarillo, where her son and daughter-in-law, Dr. and Mrs. E.K. Jones live.
Survivors are her son, Dr. E.K. Jones; a granddaughter, Mrs. Sam Burford, Jr., of Dallas; three great-granddaughters, Melissa, Ashley and Blaire Burford of Dallas; and one sister, Mrs. Daisy Briscoe of San Antonio.
