Judge John T. Jones of Lexa died on Sunday, March 10 1906, at 94 years old.
He was the oldest communicant of the Diocese and a strong supporter of domestic missions. His will, which has just been offered for probate, bequeaths to the Bishop of Arkansas the sum of $3,000 to be applied by him to the erection of church buildings at Lexa, Heber and Sugar Loaf Springs. Our Church has no representation at any of these points, and it is hoped that other gifts will enable the Bishop to erect suitable buildings in all of these towns at an early date.
