Obituary

Clinton Daily Democrat

29 November 1967

Last rites for Lee Jones, 82, of 523 East Jefferson, Clinton, prominent farmer and livestock dealer of Henry County, who passed away at the Wetzel Hospital in Clinton Wednesday, November 22, 1967 at 8:00 pm where he had been a patient since October 30, were held at the Calhoun Baptist Church Sunday, November 26. Burial was in the Calhoun Cemetery with the Housey Funeral Home in charge. Robert Lee Jones, twin son of Reuben A. and Fannie (Parks) Jones was born one and one-half miles west of Calhoun, June 26, 1885, and departed this life Wednesday, November 22, 1967, at 8:00 p.m. at the Wetzel Hospital in Clinton at the age of 82 years and five months. He was preceded in death by an infant son, Louis Dale; his parents, three brothers, one sister and two grandchildren. Early in life he professed his faith in Christ and united with the Calhoun Baptist Church where he served as a deacon for 47 years. He was most grateful that he was physically able to attend the church's 110th anniversary last August 27th, and on that occasion, he and his son, Floyd, were honored for having served for 16 years as the only father-son deacon team in the history of the church. Mr. Jones was always a wonderful counselor and close friend to the many dedicated pastors who served the church. He had a special interest and understanding for young people, and was deeply concerned about his two grandsons in service, Darrell Don Ward, stationed in Vietnam and Brad Cooper, stationed in Germany. On February 17, 1909, he was united in marriage to Maude Ethel Dannatt of Calhoun. They made their first home for 10 years one mile west of Calhoun on the farm now owned by their youngest son, Col. Melvin (Billy). They moved later to a farm 2 1/2 miles south of Calhoun, known as Catalpa Grove Stock Farm, where they resided 48 years. This home, with his faithful Christian companion by his side, was his castle, for it was here that he was able to exercise his love for the soil, his cattle and his riding horses, and to extend the hospitality of his home to friends, relatives and strangers. It was also here that he and Mrs. Jones celebrated their Golden Wedding Anniversary on February 17, 1959. On April 4, 1967, they moved to their present home at 523 East Jefferson, Clinton. Mr. Jones was an ardent Democrat and always proud that he was named for the famous General Robert E. Lee. He and his sons were known throughout the South and Middle West where for years they sold and exhibited mules. In later years, they judged some of the nation's leading mule shows. For many years, he was Superintendent of the Mule Department of the Calhoun Colt Show and was in attendance each year, except for two when hospitalized. His "going home" on Thanksgiving Eve was in a measure, timely, since many times he had expressed joy and thankfulness for having his seven children and their families present for various reunions and good times enriched with good music and wholesome fun. He is survived by his devoted wife, Maude, of the home, who lovingly cared for him through his illness, and who, with a daughter, Ethlyn, were at his bedside when he passed away; sons, Floyd and Col. Melvin (Billy) of Calhoun and Veryl Lee of Clinton; daughters, Ethlyn of St. Louis, Mrs. R. E. (Ada) Searcy of Topeka, Kansas, Mrs. D. P. (Elsie) Cooper of Windsor and Mrs. Don (Nadene) Ward of Blairstown; 13 grandchildren, and two great granddaughters, one sister, Mrs. Thomas (Jennie) Clark, Clinton; brothers, Charley of Clinton, and Eugene and Rolla of Calhoun; other relatives and a host of friends. Mr. Jones, who loved life and lived it to the fullest, seldom met a stranger. Through his long illness he remained mentally alert and interested in world events and the varied activities of his devoted family. His sparkling wit, keen sense of humor and deep humility will be sadly missed by his wide circle of friends and loved ones. Relatives and friends who attended from a distance were: Mr. and Mrs. Nelson Miles, Jr., Carrollton; Col. and Mrs. Roy G. Johnston, Belton; Mr. and Mrs. Charles Keirsey, Butler; Eddie Limberg, Lexington; Mr. and Mrs. Ben Mangina, Grandview; George Richter, Lincoln; Mr. and Mrs. Paul Phipps, Ward Young, Holden; Mr. and Mrs. Harry Duvall, Alpha Ingle, Marguerite Kluttz, Mr. and Mrs. Frankie Rufenacht, Robert lee Burcham, Kansas City, MO; Mr. and Mrs. Amos York, Osceola; Mr. and Mrs. Leonard Hays, Garden City; Mr. and Mrs. Tom Snyder, Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Rufenacht, Lowry City; Stanley Grady, Sedalia; Mr. and Mrs. Ivan Kenney, Appleton City; Keith Jones, Mrs. Perry A.
