Services for Mrs. Eliza J. Jones were held in the home conducted by Rev. Joe R. Mayes, pastor of the Baptist Church and Rev. M.S. Leveridge, pastor of the Methodist Church. She moved with her parents to Brown County in 1865 where the family established a home on the Pecan Bayou near Byrd's Store. She married Capt. J.W. Jones on 10 March 1870, and later moved to Callahan County as did also her parents, being among the first residents here.

Gilliland; one brother - Tom Windham, who are the youngest children of a family of 10 children and a number of nieces and nephews.
