Death of Mr. Barney Jenkins

Thomaston is again, called up on to give up
another of her highly esteemed residents, an old
settler, one who lent his aid to the development of 
Upson Co. On Sunday morning at six o'clock, 

Mr. Barney Jenkins died at the home of his son, Mr. W.
L. Jenkins, after an illness of four days. Mr. Jenkins
had been in feeble health since he first came to
Thomaston about five years ago to make his home with his
son, Mr. W. L. Jenkins, of the Jenkins Childs Co. but he
was up and about on the streets everyday.

Pneumonia is thought to have been the cause of Mr.
Jenkins death. He was a member of the Antioch Methodist
Church, near Thomaston for a number of years, and in fact
was one of the oldest members of that Church. He was
seventy three years old.

The funeral services were conducted at the Shiloh Baptist
church, Monday morning, By Rev. Douglas Lewis, who is
pastor of Antioch church, assisted by Rev. H. R. Branham,
of this city. The remains were interred at the Shiloh
burial grounds. Only two children survive and a number of
grandchildren.
