Sudden Death for Mrs Jenkins of Henry
The Henry community mourns the sudden death of Mrs Julia Ann Jenkins at age 66 after a paralytic illness beginning Thursday. Born December 20, 1817 in Hampshire County West Virginia, she married John Z. Jenkins in 1838 and raised nine children. The widow led a large family in Henry after moving from Missouri in 1852 and was a long time member of the MME church. Her passing follows a brief illness that started with a pain and ended in death at 4 a.m. She attended prayer meeting on December 13, the last time she was seen in public.
