Mrs. J. C. Jones Sr. Beloved Women Passes Away Today

A message just came conveying the sad news that Mrs. J. C. Jones Sr. had just passed away at the Holmes hospital her gentle spirit has taken its flight to the Hea-

venly Home at 1:15 p.m. Jan. 3, 1929. Thus passes one of God's Saints in Israel, a devoted wife, mother, sister, and friend, a loyal life time member and supporter of the Episcopal church, a typical gentlewoman of the old south.

At her bedside when the last summons came, were her loved family circle of children and grandchildren Mr. and Mrs. R. S. Dilworth and family, Messrs Sam P. and Elliot Jones, Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Jones Jr. Mrs. Chas Hoskins, and the grandchildren, E. M. Sweeney and wife, Chas, Hoskins Jr., Margaret Kennon and S. P. Jones of Cuero, Miss Ellen Dilworth, George Norwood Dilworth, Robert Scott Dilworth and little "Cupie" Terry Kennon Jones daughter of Mr. Elliott Jones.

Decedent was preceded in death by her husband, Jan. 25, 1904, the late Dr. J. C. Jones. prominent physician and personal surgeon of Gen. J. B. Hood of Hoods Texas Brigade.

Mrs. Jones was born in Holly Springs, Miss., 82 years ago and moved, with her father's family Dr. Cripp to Columbus, Texas before the Civil War, but has spent most of her long, useful, and consecrated life in Gonzales the home of Dr. and Mrs. J. C. Jones always being a social center and noted for its old southern hospitality.

The body will be taken to the home of her daughter, Mrs. Chas. Hoskins this evening where the precious remains will lie in state until four o'clock Friday afternoon, when the funeral will be held from the Episcopal church she loved the church of the Messiah.

Of old Revolutionary ancestry, highly cultured by birth and education, intellectual refined, patriotic, noble and pure in mind and soul, her presence was always an inspiration and benediction and the sweet presence of Mary Kennon Crisp Jones, (Mrs. Dr. J. C. Jones) will be sadly missed in Gonzales, her long-cherished home.

Loving and tender sympathy is extended her grief stricken children, grandchildren and other relatives by the community and by the Inquirer

[Gonzales, Gonzales Co., TX]. This is painful news to all

of us, as no citizen of Gonzales was more universally loved and esteemed than was he. For the past two days faint hopes were entertained for his recovery, but last night it became apparent that his case was hopeless, and this morning he became to sink rapidly, continuing until his death relieved him of his suffering at 2:05 [p.m.]" [Gonzales Inquirer, Jan. 26, 1904.] (See "D" at end of this section for a full Obituary)

Dr. John Curtis Jones was born in 1837 in Lawrence County, Alabama, the son of Tugnal and Susan King Jones who came to Texas in 1855 and settled near San Antonio. John began his study of medicine in Texas. He continued his education at the University of Edinburg, Scotland, and worked in Dublin, London and Paris before returning to Texas in 1861 to serve as surgeon for the Fourth Texas Regiment, Hood's Brigade, CSA. Dr. Jones was personal physician to General J.B. Hood. The first hypodermic needle was brought to the Gonzales area by Dr. Jones in 1865. John married Mary Kennan Crisp May 23,1867. Mary, born February 19, 1847, in Holly Springs, Mississippi, was the daughter of Dr. Crisp and Mary Smith Crisp both of North Carolina. The Crisp family

moved to Columbus, Texas, before the Civil War. After the Civil War, Dr. Crisp did not like the situation in Texas and moved his family to Brazil. Mary disliked Brazil and returned to the United States and eventually married John. John and Mary built this Italiante style home in 1885. The L-shaped structure with wings only one room wide afforded maximum ventilation. A few years later an iron fence and brick walkway were installed and a carriage house was built on the eastern edge of the property. Cedar gutters carried rain-water through a charcoal filtering system and into an underground cistern. The exterior of the house is cypress siding with one piece extending vertically for the entire two stories. The floor beams are ten to twelve inches thick and rest on sandstone blocks. There are free-standing chimneys for the fireplaces. The house originally had a north wing and a large cupola. The cupola was destroyed in a storm in 1910 and the north wing was removed later. The focal point of the entry hall is a magnificent free-standing curved circular staircase made of Gonzales walnut. A large pine arch separates the entry hall from the formal parlor. The walls and wainscoting of the parlor are of prized curly pine paneling, three-quarter inch thick and grooved at a mill in Alabama or Florida. Altogether the house has seven different woods. They are pine, ash, red oak, white oak, maple, ebony and walnut.

Mary and John would have at least five Children:

1. Susan Martha "Pattie" Jones

2. Samuel Peck Jones

3. John Curtis Jones Jr.

Funeral Rites Saturday For Mrs. Scott Dilworth
Last rites for Mrs. Robert Scott Dilworth, who passed to her reward Thursday, July 4, at 7 p.m., will be held from the family residence on East St. Lawrence street Saturday at 10 a.m., July 6, with the Rev. Willford D. Watts, rector of the Church of the Messiah, Episcopal, officiating, followed by interment in the IOOF cemetery under the direction of Seydler Funeral home.

The end came at the Holmes Memorial hospital on June 26 when she suffered a broken hip in a fall at her home. Responding to treatment, hoping for her recovery were held out until complications set in.

Surviving Mrs. Dilworth are two sons R. S. Dilworth, Jr., this city, and George Dilworth of San Antonio; two daughters, Mrs. Edward M. Sweeny, and Mrs. Ellen Leyer, both of San Antonio; and two granddaughters, Misses Bonnie Sue Dilworth and Annabel Sweeney, San Antonio. Other survivors are two brothers, JohnC. Jones, this city, and Robert Elliott Jones, Houston.

A life long resident of Gonzales, Susan Jones Dilworth was born here September 9, 1872, reaching the age of 84 years, nine months, and 25 days. She was the eldest daughter of Dr. John C. Jones, pioneer physician and surgeon of Gonzales, and Mary Kennon Crisp Jones, a native of Alabama and Tennessee respectively.

Receiving her education in Gonzales schools, Mrs. Dilworth later attended Montgomery Institute Seguin, an Episcopal school for girls that subsequently became the St. Mary's Hall in San Antonio of which her granddaughter, Annabel Ellen Sweeney is a 1957 graduate. Later she entered a boarding school at Columbia, Tenn., completing her education at Gunston Hall in Washington D. C., one of the nation's outstanding finishing schools for young ladies. Returning home, it was Mrs. Dilworths joy and privilege to enter into the activities of her beloved hometown, it's religious, cultural, patriotic, and social life of which she became a dedicated participant, a popular member.

It was in the quaint attractive church of the Messiah of which her father was an early member and vestryman, that she became the bride of Robert Scott Dilworth, a son of Mr. and Mrs. G. N. Dilworth, on March 14, 1893, uniting two of Gonzales old-line families, long prominent in the towns social and business activities.

Mr. and Mrs. Dilworth spent many happy years in the stately colonial residence on St. Lawrence street where they reared their children, a home where gracious southern hospitality reigned. It was there they celebrated their golden wedding anniversary some years ago with a reception that for the beauty of appointment, delightful informality proved an occasion to be long-held in treasured memory.

It was just a few years later, on March 28, 1948, that union was severed by the passing of Mr. Dilworth, who had for some time been in failing health. He, too, was a devoted member of the church of which Mrs. Dilworth had been a lifelong member. Reared amid the priceless traditions of distinguished southern ancestry, Mrs. Dilworth was a true daughter of the south. Deeply patriotic, she supported every worthwhile movement, loyal to its advancement.

A charter member of the Gonzales chapter, United Daughters of the Confederacy, she was one of its most ardent members through the years. Mrs. Dilworth was also a member of the Colonial Dames Society and also the Thomas Shelton chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution.

Devoted to her family, her church, the spirit of her home town in every phase of service, Mrs. Dilworth has left a memory of enduring service to be treasured through the years by all whose privilege it was to know her and to love her.

Preceding her to the great beyond was a brother, Sam Jones, and a young sister, Kennon, Mrs. Charles Hoskins, both of this city.

For Saturday's funeral services casket bearers will be John D. DuBose, Robert H. Walker, George McSparran, Sam H. Burchard, Douglas Lawley, Whit DuBose. Clarence T. Traeger and J. E. Lawley.

Robert Scott Dilworth

Robert Scott Dilworth was born September 24, 1868, in Gonzales, Texas. His parents were George Nor- wood and Martha Ellen Huff Dilworth, both from Georgia. George, a prominent Gonzales banker, came to Gonzales in 1850 and began his career as a trail driver and cotton farmer. After the Civil War, he was a partner with Hugh Lewis in the grocery business. In 1866 he was a partner in the first banking institution in Gonzales Coun-ty and in 1871 became the sole owner of the bank. George continued to drive herds to northern markets as well as expand his local interests.

In 1903 George took his sons, Robert Scott and Coke Emory, into partnership. After George died in 1911, his sons carried on the family banking business. Scott was educated at the University of Virginia, re= turned home, and went into business with his father. Scott was a shrewd businessman and had many interests. In one of his most successful ventures, he joined C.T Rather, Madden Fly, and T.F. Harwood to build the Gonzales Cotton Mill in 1900, which operated until the 1950's.

On March 14, 1893, he married Susan Jones, who was born September 9, 1872, the daughter of Dr. J.C. Jones and Mary Kennon Jones of Gonzales. Susan was educated at The Montgomery Institute in Seguin and Norwood College in Wash-ington, D.C. Following their wedding, they honeymooned in New Orleans and Florida. Their first home was this magnificent mansion completed the year of their marriage. The lots were given to the couple by the parents of the bride. The house was originally Victorian but was remodeled by Robert and Emma Jahnke in the 1920s to reflect the Greek Revival architectural style that was popular in Gonzales during the 1900-1925 era.

Edward Sweeney was born on August 8, 1897, in Bonham, Texas. He attended Rice Institute in Houston and was a pilot during World War I. About 1919 he came to Gonzales and operated the Gonzales Cotton Mill. On October 2, 1920, Edward married Annabell Dilworth, born on March 22, 1898, the daughter of R.S. and Susan Jones Dilworth of Gonzales. Edward and Annabell had one daughter, Annabell Sweeney Ames. Edward purchased a wholesale grocery business from Tom Fussell in 1921 and operated the business in Gonzales for several years. In 1929 Edward purchased the Red & White Grocery Store franchise for south and central Texas and moved to San Antonio. He later left the Red & White chain and operated many of his stores under the "Model Market" name. He served on the board of directors of Frost National Bank and Cullen Frost Bank. He was Chairman of the Board of Standard Baking Company, on the board of Model Markets Inc., Board of A.S.A. Properties Inc., and formerly on the board of St. Mary's Hall.

Edward and Annabell built their beautiful house in 1926. It is an English Tudor or Cotswold Cot-tage style home and is framed by two enormous live oak trees. A third tree once stood on the front lawn but was destroyed by a storm in 1994. The beautifully kept grounds give the impression that it just magically materialized from the English countryside.

GEORGE JOHNSTON AMES

George as his parents soon moved to what would be his lifelong home of San Antonio. George attended Alamo Heights and Texas Military Institute, but his parents ending up deciding that a high school, Lake Forest Academy, far from San Antonio was necessary to protect George's virtue from those "wild Saint Mary's Hall girls." Of course, he ended up marrying one of those girls. Following Lake Forest Academy, George enrolled at Tulane, where he majored in being an SAE pledge. Due to an unfortunate incident involving a car and the courthouse steps on Palm Sunday, George prematurely had to end his scholastic career in New Orleans. As punishment, his parents sent George to live and study in London and Madrid for a year. After his penance year, he attended Trinity University.

In 1963, George had the honor of escorting a debutante, the Queen of the Order of the Alamo, Annabell Ellen Sweeney, one of those "wild girls" from Saint Mary's Hall. George instantly knew that he had found his forever queen in Annabell, thus beginning one of the greatest, most devoted relationships of all time. He finally won her over and in 1967 they were married. After jet-setting and partying as one of the most glamourous couples of the sixties, George and Annabell had two boys, Edward, and George Scott. George raised his boys to be true gentlemen, to embody what is best in men, taught them to always do the right thing, encouraged them to explore the world and showed them what true love and devotion means.

George's professional career varied as a young man, from being a stockbroker to an airline steward. He ended up joining Sweeney & Company, a wholesale grocery company, eventually becoming president. While working in the grocery business, he was honored with membership in the Young Presidents Association and served as president of the Wholesale Grocers Association. In the eighties and nineties, George worked in real estate and helped Annabell in her retail stores, Apropos and Hanley Wood. Together they built up Hanley-Wood to become the go-to destination for the finest gifts in San Antonio, a status it maintains to this day.

Though George wasn't born in San Antonio, he became deeply involved in the old social organizations and Fiesta week. As a young man, he escorted many debutantes to society parties, earning him the moniker "deb's delight." George was a member of the Texas Cavaliers, the San Antonio German Club, The Merry Knights of King William, and the Order of the Alamo; he served on the board of the Order of the Alamo, becoming president in 1985 and served as the Lord High Chamberlain in 1990. Annabell served as Mistress of the Robes in 1998 but he might as well have been "Mister of the Robes" as they were a solid and unified team in life. In recent years, George served on the board of Villa Finale, the organization behind the historic preservation of Walter Mathis's home in King William.

George is joining his son, Edward, who was taken from us too early. He is survived by the love of his life, Annabell; his son George Scott and daughter-in-law Meredith, grandchildren, Henry and Madeleine; daughter-in-law Sarah; his brother Gene and sister-in-law Ellen, niece and nephews John, Elizabeth, Gene, and Stephen and their spouses, children and grandchildren.

A memorial service will be held Monday, June 10, 2019, at 4 pm at St. Mark's Episcopal Church, 315 E. Pecan Street.

Donations in memory of George can be made to the Texas Cavaliers Charitable Foundation,

Gonzales paid its last tribute of love and respect to the memory of the late Chas. H. Hoskins, Tuesday afternoon when the remains were laid to rest. It was a representative gathering of citizens that assembled at the family residence at 4 o'clock, the appointed hour for the funeral.

The large living room where the handsome gray casket stood was a veritable bower of bloom, so numerous were the exquisite floral offerings, and it was here that the simple service was conducted by the decedent's rector, Rev. B. S. McKenzie of the Church of the Messiah, the beautiful burial services of the Episcopal church being used. Several appropriate hymns completed the service which touched every heart.

The procession that followed the remains to the Masonic cemetery was one of the longest ever seen in Gonzales. A brief service was held as the last offices of the dead were performed. A beautiful mantle of floral tributes seldom equaled in Gonzales decked the last resting place of the loved dead when the benediction was pronounced, the warm tribute of esteem and eloquent expressions of tender sympathy for the bereaved loved ones from friends both at home and at a distance. Among them were a large number of very handsome emblems fashioned of the choicest blooms of the greenhouse. A special offering conveyed the heartfelt sympathy of the Gonzales Chapter U.D.C.

In public life a splendid citizen, a true Christian gentleman, in his church a valued member, among his associates a true friend, in his home life a devoted husband, son, and brother, he will be sadly missed. He has passed on but the good influence of his example will live on pointing the way to others.
