Henry County Local---May 8, 1903
News was received here by telegram Monday of the death of Mrs. Rebecca Jenkins (1838-1903), wife of Captain Barton W. Jenkins (1832-1910), at Umatilla, FL, on Sunday afternoon. Mrs. Jenkins left here late in the fall with her husband, to spend the winter in the South, and while she had been very feeble, late advices from her were rather encouraging. Hence the sad news was a painful surprise to her many friends. She was for most of her life a devoted communicant of the Methodist Church, holding her membership at Broadway in Louisville. The remains were brought to Eminence Wednesday for interment, this being her home county for many years, tho' she was a native of Oldham, a daughter of William Barnhill. Her husband and two sons, William B., Louisville, and Thomas F. of New Castle, survive, and deep is their grief shared by many sympathizing friends.
The funeral was preached Thursday by Rev. Dr. Ed O. Guerrant, a fast friend of Captain and Mrs. Jenkins – the former's Adjutant-General during the war.
