JAMES J. JONES

James was the first child born to my grandparents. His middle name is Jefferson for Pa Jones' grandfather. They only got to keep him for 13 months. He was diagnosed with dysentery. Most people didn't know, in 1908, that a child could not have milk with this condition so when the baby cried, he was given a bottle or the breast. How things could have changed with just a little sugar water. He is buried in Pleasant Valley Baptist Church cemetery.  His brother is buried beside him in Adairsville. After my aunt Sybil died in 1998 and uncle Ed in  2005, they were added to this plot. The inscription on his tombstone reads James J. son of Lay & N. N. Jones. Born April 5, 1907-Died July 9, 1908
