SEMINOLE PRISONER PREACHES SERMON TO TOMBSTONES
Submitted by: Mollie Stehno

Andy Jones, Seminole, may have been exhorting the spirit of John Barleycorn to rise and walk again, local officers have decided. They found him in Maple Grove Cemetery here preaching a rousing sermon to the tombstones around him. He was using another tombstone for a platform.

Police decided he already had enough "Barleycorn" and returned him to jail. At the time he was serving a jail sentence for intoxication. Jones was working in the cemetery with a group of other prisoners when he decided to turn orator. He had asked guards to leave him there while the other prisoners went to Seminole to eat.
