The sudden death of Princi-
pal J. C. Jones of the Central
Ward School in Gonzales, Wed-
nesday, March 6, brought many
expressions of sincere regret
from a large circle of friends
throughout this community.
Mr. Jones was a former mem-
ber of the faculty of the Shiner
High School and had a wide
circle of friends, among whom
were numbered acquaintances
of every age.
He suffered a heart attack in
front of the Fitzgerald Drug
Store about 10 a. m. Wednesday
and was immediately rushed to
the doctor’s office up stairs,
where he passed away.
He had been principal of the
Central Ward School since 1943.
His death brought an atmos-
phere of gloom over the Gon-
zales schools, for ,he was very
much beloved by his pupils. His
daughter, Sally Bess, is a mem-
ber of the senior class of Gon-
zales High School.
He was born and reared in
Wrightsboro and received his
bachelor’s degree from South-
west Teachers College in San
! Marcos. Mr. Jones was twice
superintendent of the Pawnee
school in Bee County served as
principal of the Shiner high
school and was with the
’’Wrightsboro school for eight
- years before coming to Gon-
zales.
He received his master of arts
degree from the University of
Missouri. He was a veteran of
"World War I, a member of the
American Legion and a lieu-
tenant, and ardent worker in
the Texas Defense Guard and
Masonic Lodge.
~ Members of the Gonzales
?-* company of the TDG formed a
guard of honor as the body was
taken from the home at
Wrightsboro and to the cem-
etery. Masonic rites were held
at the Wrightsboro cemetery,
and afterward Dr. L. J. Lau-
raine, post commander of the
' American Legion, presented the
family with the flag which
draped the casket.
Survivors include his wife,
his ‘ daughter, one brother, E. D.
Jones of Wrightsboro.
. Funeral services were held
Thursday afternoon with the
„ Rev. M. T. Jenkins, pastor of
th‘e Unity Baptist Church and
the Rev. Chas. Bowes, pastor of
the Wrightsboro Baptist Church
officiating.

The Rev. Leo Moczygemba of-
ficiated at the double ring cere-
mony, at St. Cyril and Method-

length gown. She carried a bou-
quet of white carnations and
lace fern caught with white sat-
in streamers. Her only orna-

OFFICIALLY INSPECTED
JOHN BROOKS GARY
DIED MONDAY AT
HOME NEAR BOLING
A heart attack he suffered
early Monday morning, March
4, at his home near Boling,
claimed the life of John Brooks
Gary, 48, prominent rancher
and life-long resident of Whar-
ton County. Mr. Gary had suf-
fered numerous heart attacks
over a period of years, and his
sudden passing was not unex-
pected. He. apparently had
awakened and had started to
dress when he was stricken.
The body was prepared for in-
terment by the Wharton Fu-
neral Home, and services under
their direction were held Thurs-
day afternoon at the Funeral
Home, and interment was made
in the Wharton Cemetery. A
large group of friends were
present for the final rites.
Mr. Gary was born at Don
Tol on Nov. 22, 1897, the son
of Dr. John M. and Ada Taylor
Gary. His early school years
were spent at Iago, after which
he attended Bingham Military
Academy in North Carolina and
Riverside Academy in Georgia.
On August 1, 1921, he was
united in marriage to Miss Mil-
dred Fry, of Shiner, in Hal-
lettsville, and four children
were the issue of the union.
These four, together with their
mother, survive Mr. Gray. The
children are Mrs. Gus Cargile,
Jr., John Brooks Gary, Jr., Ray-
mond Dickson Gary and Earl
Fry Gary. A granddaughter,
Gary Cargile is anothef member
of the immediate family.
Brooks Gary was a well
known and well liked gentle-
man. His successful operation of
his ranch near Boling made
him colorful in civic and polit-
ical matters, and he will be
sorely missed by a great num-
ber who depended upon him
for things he was in a position
to give.—Wharton Spectator.
The Rev. M. Bird, Episcopal
rector of Brenham, officiated,
assisted by the Rev. Purcell of
the First Baptist Church of
