d/o Booker T. Lendon / Cynthia Jones
Old Colored Auntie Called to Reward
Said to be 110 years old left numerous descendants.
The other day they're passed on into glory the spirit of a worthy and venerable colored "Aunty" Fannie Jones of the city, Who is said to have reached the age of 110 years, confined to her bed for the past few months due to feebleness she waited patiently for the call of the master and her favorite past time was singing the old familiar hymns like "The promised land" and others just before her spirit took his flight she like the class hands feebly singing " in the kingdom children in the kingdom Lord".
She first saw the light of day in Texas having been born on the Brazos River while her master with his household effects and slaves was in route to Gonzales County to reside.
Here she lived out her life, spending most of it on the plantation of her master, Russell Jones, on the Guadalupe River. Mr. Jones was an uncle of Misses Zula and Kate Jones and Mrs. W.B. Houston of this city, and of the late Gus Jones, one time mayor of San Antonio. She was typical of the old slave women faithful and loyal. ref: Gonzales Inquirer 13 Dec 1928 Contributed by Cindy S Munson
