At 3 o'clock Friday afternoon, January 17, a group of close personal friends and relatives tenderly laid to rest the frail body of Kate Lynch Jones, whose spirit had taken its flight in the early hours of the day before.
A profusion of flowers, gladiolus, calls, roses, carnations, handsome floral offerings , and the little bouquets of the lowly made beautiful her last resting place, and spoke of the love and esteem in which she was held. Special emblems were sent by the choir, Sunday School, and the Auxiliary Guild of the Church of the Messiah of which she was almost a life long member,
There were also offerings from the Gonzales Study Club the Daugs of the Republic of Texas, the United Daughters of the American Revolution.
After a brief prayer at the home, the service was conducted at the Church of the Messiah by the Rev. Edgar Burnz, the newly installed rector, after which she was laid to rest in the Odd Fellows cemetery by the side of her mother, whose memory she had cherished lovingly for so many years.
Miss Jones was of a most quiet retiring disposition, but her ready bsmile and desire to serve made her friends by the score. On account of her very reticent nature, few knew of the weather of information she had acquired during the years. Her memory was so retentive and her interest in affairs of all kinds so genuine that little passed her by without her being cognizant of it.
Her love of home, relatives and friends was outstanding. Undeviating loyalty to friends and the things she held dear was the outstanding characteristics of a ost beautiful life.
