Funeral services for T. L. Jones, 87, prominent resident of Dodson, who died Saturday at his home after a long illness, were held at the Dodson Baptist Church Sunday afternoon. The Rev. J. E. Hinkle, of Shreveport, former pastor for the Dodson church, the Rev. Ray Cumbee, present pastor, and the Rev. J. W. Buckner, Jonesboro, officiated. Interment was in Zion Hill Cemetery.

Acting as pallbearers were A. L. Mixon, C. L. Shell, A. A. Hammons, Clayton Taylor, S. B. Hughes, and J. H. Barr.

Born in Mississippi, T. L. Jones moved to Winn Parish with his parents while a small child. He was married to Miss Minerva Walker, a native of Alabama, who had moved to the Hudson Community when a young girl. They established their home at Dodson where they reared their family and where Mr. Jones was engaged in the mercantile business for 65 years. Mr. Jones' forebears were the sturdy long-lived pioneers who helped to settle this section, his mother, Mrs. Caroline McCarty Jones, having lived to the ripe old age of 98. Mr. Jones, who took an active interest in community affairs, was a member of the Baptist Church and the Woodmen of the World.

Surviving are six daughters, Mrs. R. W. Buce, Winnfield, Mrs. John Langley, Montrose, Mrs. W. R. Sharman and Mrs. Kenny Hightower, both of Ruston, Mrs. A. H. Colvin, Jonesboro, and Miss Pearl Jones, Dodson; three sons, W. A. of Berkley, Calif., Ira T. of Waco, Texas, and Lonnie of Birmingham, Ala.; four sisters, Miss Rosa Jones, Montgomery, Mrs. W. M. D. Gaar and Mrs. W. H. Jordan, both of Hudson, and Mrs. Delia Hatten, Oak Grove; a brother, Judge Wiley E. Jones, Baton Rouge.
