Caroline Grant Sutton was born on the Sutton farm southeast of Rock Port on December 27th, 1867, and passed away, Sunday, March 19th, at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Harriet Spinks, Dundee, Miss.
She followed the Sutton tradition of taking up teaching when she was 16 years old and after a few years was married to James Jones, a farmer near Westboro. They began housekeeping on the farm now occupied by her son Sam and family.
To Mr. and Mrs. Jones were born eight children, three boys and five girls—Archie, who passed on at 7 years; Harriet, now Mrs. Peter B. Spinks of Dundee, Miss; Virginia Waltner of Kansas City; Flossie White of Mt. Pleasant, Miss.; Sam P. of Westboro; Louise Stickerod, who passed away in 1928; Vern who died in infancy; Richard S. Jones of St. Joseph. Thirteen grandchildren also survive.
When her children were beginning their independent lives, she resumed her school work after an interval of broken health. Although she had little college work, the born leader asserted herself an she made a brilliant record by awakening in her pupils a desire and thirst for knowledge.
Her life has held perhaps more than the usual toll of disappointment, heartache and anguish, but these emotions had been transmuted into the fine gold of Christian character. Her unfailing devotion to the "home folks," and later to her own family and orphaned grandchildren, gave her understanding sympathy and her fine Christian character made her an inspiration to her pupils.
Mrs. Jones taught in the Daleview and Valley View schools for several years, and the last nine years of her school life in Phelps City, Mo. No teacher can ever replace with these people their dearly-loved Mother Jones. She understood then and led them joyfully to high things.
In 1934 her health broke down and she went south to her daughters, Harriet and Flossie, who had gone there to teach as
demonstrators after the World War and married there. Although the mother had every care that loving hands could give, she always hopped to get back home and had her luggage packed for the return when death intervened.
A member of the Christian church, she had wonderful help in her long travail in the teachings and prayers of the youngest sister, Mrs. Gertrude Gephart, who is a lecturer, teacher and author of many books on the way of the Christian life.
Surviving of the "home folks' are the following brothers and sisters: Mrs. Mary Graham of Edgewater, Colo.; Miss Hattie D. Sutton and Mrs. Sarah McMahon of Rock Port; Dr. J. M Sutton of Lincoln, Kans.; Dr. R. L. Sutton of Kansas City; Mrs. Gertrude Gephart of Los Angeles, Calif.; Dr. W. P. Sutton of San Benito, Texas.
Funeral services were preached by Rev. M. D. Melvania, with prayer by Rev. Harry Ellis, at the Clifton Funeral Home., Wednesday morning. Burial was at Green Hill Cemetery
