Tamezine died in Ft.Smith Ark.and her sons brought her back to be buried here.

This came from a cemetery book that was put together by a group in the 50's. Billy Suitor gave

me a copy of it.

It contained this extra info:
There is another grave beside them "unknown" "The Jones family came to Texas in 1846 from
North Bend, Ohio (now part of Cincinnati). They came by boat down the Ohio and Mississippi
Rivers to New Orleans, and thence up the Red River to Shreveport. From there the family
traveled by wagon to the spot where the graveyard is located one mile north of Selfs. It took five
months for this move from Ohio to Texas"

Jones Mill Community Historical Marker

Thanks to Marvin Jones of Jefferson City, Mo. for initiating and funding
the cemetery restoration and the state historical marker.
