Memphis Reville June 15, 1922
Sarah Ann Armstron Jinkens
Sarah Ann Armstrong, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James A. Armstrong was born near 
Oquawka, Ill., Feb. 10, 1856, and answered the summons to "Come Up Higher" on 
Wed., June 7, 1922, at the age of 66 years, 3 months, and 27 days.  When she 
was fourteen or fifteen, her family removed from Ill., to Van Buren County, 
Ia., and on Nov. 21, 1882, she was united in marriage to W.H.C. Jinkens, to 
which union four children were born, one of whom, O.C., was called to death at 
age four.  She is survived by her devoted husband, W.H.C. Jinkens, Mrs. Alvin 
Kerr of Chambersburg; James S. of Luray, and N.C. Jinkens, of Luray, also one 
step-daughter, Mrs. George Mills of Granger; two brothers, James Armstrong of 
Kahoka and William Armstrong of Mt. Sterling, Ia., Nellie Armstrong of Terre 
Haute, Ind. and Mrs. J. P. Smith of Roseville, Ill., a number of grandchildren 
and a host of friends who mourn her passing. Following her marriage with Mr. 
Jinkens, they resided on a farm in Bethlehem community, in Northwestern Clark 
Co., for some 35 years, removing to Kahoka some 5 years ago.  Besides her own 
children she reared to maturity four stepchildren, and has been a mother to 
her little grandchild Pauline Jinkens, whose mother died when she was an 
infant. Some 19 years ago she professed faith in Christ and united with the 
Bethlehem Baptist Church, under the ministery of Rev. W.M. Cooney, and 
remained a faithful member of this body until death. Her long years of quiet 
devotion to home and loved ones, and her unswerving fidelity to the church 
have furnished abundant proof that her faith was well grounded. For the past 
10 years, her health has been gradually ailing and from a lingering illness 
she has passed to the rest that remaineth for the people of God.  The funeral 
service will be held from the Bethlehem Baptist Church, at 2:00 P.M. on 
Friday, June 9, and interrment will be made in the Bethlehem Cemetery.
