Corp. Howard Jenkins Dies In England

The shocking news came to Dr. and Mrs. Hugh Jenkins, in a brief cablegram, of 
the death of their son Howard, which occurred February 23rd in the military 
hospital at Eastbourne, England. Howard, the oldest son of Dr. and Mrs. 
Jenkins, was born in Preston, December 13, 1889. Reaching early manhood he 
took up a Canadian homestead in Alberta, where he remained three years, 
returning to the United States to take a business course at Valpariso 
University, after which he made his home in Hooper, Washington, where his 
sister, Mrs. J. E. Perry and husband were located. He enlisted at Seattle with 
the British and was transferred to the Canadian Engineers, serving in the 
Third Division. Howard was taken sick with trench fever at Brussels and was 
taken to Boulogne, France and then Aldershot, England. He died of influenza 
and pneumonia.
