Sarah Ann, wife of Isaac Jenkins, of this township, died very suddenly on the
18th inst., after only a few days’ illness.  She was born in Greene county, Oho,
Dec. 14, 1831, and came with her parents and only prother[sic], Henry S.
Robinson, of this place, in the fall of 1883[sic], to Cass county, where the
father died soon after, leaving the mother and two children among strangers in a
wilderness land, and soon after she came to his township, where she has lived
ever since.  She was an earnest and faithful member of the U.B. church at
Franklin Chapel.  She was aged fifty-four years, eleven months and four days. 
She leaves a kind husband and ten children, six sons and four daughters, to
mourn their loss.  Her funeral was very largely attended at the Berrien Centre
church, on Saturday, the 20th inst., the services being conducted by Rev. G.
Sicafoos, of Berrien Springs.



Additional Comments:
This is listed under “Berrien Centre Ballots” so “this township” apparently
refers to Berrien township.
