Submitted by: Wanda Elliott



The hand of death visited our little city early Saturday morning claiming one of our prominent business men, W.M. JEFFRIES, manager of the Buffington Hotel, a pioneer, well known, beloved citizen.
Mr. JEFFRIES, age 70, passed away at 5:30 Saturday morning after a few hours illness with heart trouble.
He had been a citizen of this section for some 40 years and had been a school teacher until a few years ago when he took over the management of the Buffington Hotel.

He was one of the charter members of the local Baptist church and has always been active in church and civic activities.
The funeral was held at the Baptist church Monday afternoon and burial made in the city cemetery.
Besides his wife, survivors include four sons and five daughters: Lawton JEFFRIES, Roswell, N.M., Bonna JEFFRIES, Westwood, California, and Eldon and Owen JEFFRIES, Westville; Mrs. J.B. CORNETT and Mrs. Joe CORNETT, both of Oklahoma City, Mrs. T.B. SOUCH, El Paso, Texas, and Mrs. E.O. WALKER and Miss Melba JEFFRIES, both of Roswell.
