home last night after a brief illness, aged seventy-three years. 
Mrs. Jenkins had been ailing for some time, but was able to be

however, she began to sink and was unconscious most of the time 
until her death at 11:30 p.m.

for many years, Justice of the Peace in West Taylor Township, 
and the following sons and daughter:  Samuel, of Altoona; Ezra 
and Ambrose, of Franklin Borough Benjamin, of Lower Yoder 
Township; John M. and C. E. of West Taylor Township and Mrs. 
Annie Hanley, of McKeesport. Mrs. Jenkins is also survived by 
two brothers and one sister - Abram and Miller Gross, who reside 
near Lewistown and Mrs. William Brininger of Mapleton, Pa. The 
deceased was born at McVeytown, Mifflin County, but had been a 
resident of West Taylor Township for thirty-four years.  Mrs. 
Jenkins was a member of the Cooper-Avenue Methodist Episcopal 
Church, and her pastor, the Rev. S. B. Laverty will conduct 
funeral services on Saturday. Interment will be made in
