Mrs. Dora Rosser Jeffers
At the funeral services of this estimable lady, at Countyline church, there were more people present than was ever known to gather t a similar occasion. She was not only the center of love and attraction to her bereaved husband and parents but of the entire community. She left a husband and a little six week's old babe to battle in the world without her. We have known her from childhood and she has ever been a living example of the possibility of the high moral standard attainable by the human family. She was a Christian and is in a happier home than the happy one she left. Her father wrote the following card:
TO THOSE WE LOVE
"We are very grateful to you for your kind treatment and active watchfulness over the death bed of our darling daughter, Dora Jeffers, and you will all be dear to our memory ass long as our lives shall last."
Respectfully, D. A. Rosser and Wife

B. J. Jinks Submitted by
On Wednesday evening of this week the soul of Mr. B. J. Jinks took its flight from this earth to that bourne from which no traveler returns. His death was the result of a prolonged illness with diabetes, from which dreaded disease he has suffered for the past several years, until it took a serious turn some two weeks ago, resulting in his death.
Mr. Jinks was about 55 years of age and has served in the capacity of county surveyor of Butts county, for the past twenty years, which position he filled most acceptably up to the time of his death.
He leaves a wife and two children besides a large concourse of friends along with other relatives, who through his untimely departure. The body was interred with Masonic honors by the members of St. Johns Lodge of Jackson and his remains were laid to rest in Bethel cemetery on Thursday evening, last. The Argus extends sympathy to the bereaved relatives. (Jackson Argus - May 3, 1895)
NOTE: From the Resolution to B. J. Jinks - it states his first name was Burrel.
Miss Tranquil Jinks
Miss Jinks died, Sunday, near Jenkinsburg, where she had lived all her life, or since the death of her parents, which occurred when she was quite young. She had many friends in her community and not an enemy that we know of. She leaves several brothers, to mourn her death, all of whom are grown and married.
There is a strange coincidence in her death and that of Mrs. J. W. Childs. They lived not a mile apart, both died of consumption about the same time, and both were buried at Bersheeba church. They were good friends but not related.

Daisy Jones - MEMORIAM
On last Friday morning at eleven o'clock the spirit of Daisy Jones, one of the brightest sweetest pupils of Jackson Institute passed away.
The possibility of her death had not been thought of till a few hours before it came. It was therefore a severe shock to her family and friends.
Daisy came at the beginning of the term from West Point Ga., to enter school and be with her sister, Miss Jessie who is engaged in the music department of the Institute. She had endeared herself to her teachers and playfellows by her good conduct and good disposition.
Few children have won so many friends in so brief a period, as Daisy. There were many sad hearts and tear stained cheeks in the Institute when the President made the sad announcement "Daisy is dead". School was suspended and the pupils marched in a body to the Morrison House where they saw for the last time the beautiful face of their beloved play mate.
On Saturday morning the grief stricken father, who had arrived only in time to see his darling cold in death, accompanied by his only surviving daughter, Miss Jessie and his sister Mrs. Mitchell of Atlanta, and President Blasingame, carried the remains to West Point where they were interred Sunday morning.
On the sunny slope of one of the "Red old hills of Georgia" in a quiet "city of the dead" rests all that is mortal of a mothers darling, no fevers can flush the cheek again, no pain can rack the body of the dear Daisy whose form and spirit God was so good in lending to us for a brief season. Grieve not stricken ones that she is gone, but rather rejoice that she was here.
She was God's own and He doeth with His own whatsoever pleaseth Him.
(Jackson Argus - Week of May 3, 1895)
