A SENATE RESOLUTION

TO RECOGNIZE AND HONOR THE JONES FAMILY REUNION, AND TO CONGRATULATE THE FAMILY MEMBERS UPON THE OCCASION OF THEIR FORTY-FIFTH ANNUAL GATHERING.

Whereas, in an age when mobility and separation from family roots make family relationships more challenging to maintain, the South Carolina Senate takes great pleasure in learning of the efforts of the Jones Family Reunion to cherish family identity and ties as they reunite over Labor Day weekend of 2011; and

Whereas, Tony Jones was born in Bowman, the oldest of five siblings, and in the late 1800s, he married Melda Summers from Bishopville; and

Whereas, together they reared several fine children: Perry, Dick, William, Maggie, Katie, and Lillie, as well as Melda's son, Lucius Crum; and

Whereas, for four and a half decades, descendants of Melda and Tony Jones have returned to their ancestral roots to celebrate their common heritage and to confirm their devotion to their heritage and family; and

Whereas, the members of the South Carolina Senate are grateful for the legacy of the Jones family members and wish them much satisfaction and joy during their forty-fifth family reunion. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the Senate:

That the members of the South Carolina Senate, by this resolution, recognize and honor the Jones Family Reunion, and congratulate the family members upon the occasion of their forty-fifth annual gathering.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be provided to the Jones Family Reunion.
