The Portland Observer, Thursday, January 20, 1916

Death claimed a former resident of this community, Saturday, in the person of 
Mrs. Joseph Jenkins, who passed away at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Albert 
Strudevant, in Reed City, at the age of 70 years.  Burial took place at Reed 
City Monday.

Mrs. Jenkins’ maiden name was Miss Mary Kinney.  She was born and reared on a 
farm west of the village and from the time of her marriage to her removal to 
Hersey, Osceola county, she lived with her husband on the farm now occupied by 
Howard St. John, southeast of Portland.  Mr. Jenkins died aboard a train bound 
for California, 15 years ago.  he was enroute to his daughter’s home there 
when his death took place and the only means of identifying him proved to be a 
Masonic lodge receipt, found in one of his pockets.  The death of Mrs. Jenkins 
recalls the sad incident to many Portland citizens.
