Mrs. J.E. Sims died Thursday morning at the home of her daughter Willie Callaway in the Gay Hill Community. Deceased was 78 years old. She was a member of the Baptist Church and was a true Christian. She was survived by ten children. The remains were interned in the Salty cemetery Thursday afternoon.

I had William's year as 1867 and Augustus as 1869, also I got James Jones from a censes for their dad. The censes also shows them a year or so apart. Some censes has other children as Jones children they are not. I think the censes person assumed. An obit has name as William Arthur Jones named as dad, I'm still hunting for information. Also spelling is both Arthur and Authur on my information for middle name.
