Author: Luther A. Ingersoll, Editor (1893)

LOUIS B. JENKINS, a native son of California, was born at Stockton, September
27, 1859, a son of John G. Jenkins, for many years a resident of San Joaquin
county, and a prominent member of the State bar. This gentleman came to the
"Golden State" in 1852, from Dodgeville, Wisconsin. He was born in Tennessee,
and married Mrs. Marella A. Rhodes in Wisconsin, a native of New York, of German
descent, and our subject, Louis B., is the youngest of her four children.

  Louis B. Jenkins was reared in Stockton, graduated at the Stockton public
schools, and later he studied law at Santa Cruz, and was admitted to practice in
1881.

  As soon as he was admitted to the bar he located in Santa Cruz, and from there
came to Salinas in 1886. Two years later he was elected to the office of Justice
of the Peace, and in 1890 succeeded himself. He is a popular Democrat in
politics, and in his election ran far ahead of his ticket.

  Mr. Jenkins married in 1889, Miss Carrie O. Pursell, a native of Tulare
county, and was born in 1871, and to these parents two daughters have been born,
Stella and Ella. Mr. Jenkins enjoys a large practice, and has gained the respect
and esteem of all who know him.
