Lineville Headlight
On the evening of July 21st. God called to the home of faithful Irving Jenkins, 
the 19-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. A. P. Jenkins. He was born on Nov. 29th, 
1900, and died July 21st, 1920, having died from a gunshot accidentally received 
while taking his gun from a buggy. He died only 5 days from the time was shot 
until God called him from his suffering. He remained conscious until last and 
realized that he was going to die, but all the time expressed his willingness to 
go and was prepared to meet God. Time after time he called his loved ones and 
friends to his side and told them goodbye and that wanted them to meet him in 
heaven. He attended S. S. regularly d was a member of the Baracca, class of 
Delta Baptist S. S. living was a model young man, and his life was such it would 
be all for any young man to emulate. He leaves his aped father, other, 5 
brothers, 3 sisters and host of relatives and friends to mourn his untimely 
death. Now it resolved: 1st, That in the death of Irving the Baracca and S. S. 
have lost one of their most faithful members. We realize that our loss is 
regret, but our loss is His eternal gain and commend his loved ones and the 
members of his S. S ass to the God whom Irving rusted. His labors ended with the 
day. His work on earth is done. No more dear Irving will we see, until the 
resurrection morning, it is resolved 2nd. We extend to the bereaved ones our 
heartfelt sympathy in their sad hours of bereavement and say to them that Irving 
is not dead but sleepeth. Resolved 3rd. That a copy of these resolutions be 
published in the Headlight.
S.J. Stephens, H.C. Willingham and Sue Dulin.
