The death of Charles D. Jenkins on the 2nd, instant, extinguishes the original Jenkins family.
In 1872, Levi Jenkins and wife of Kalamazoo, Michigan, with their three children, Charles D. Jenkins, Edward H. Jenkins and Miss Jenkins, who subsequently became Mrs. Cogswell, moved to Madison County and took up their home in the neighborhood now known as Kalamazoo precinct. About eighteen years ago Levi Jenkins died and was followed a few years later by his wife, Mrs. Cogswell having died before either of her parents. Less than two months ago Edward H. Jenkins died at his home in Columbus which, with the passing of Charles D. Jenkins, extinguishes the family.
Charles D. Jenkins was born at Kalamazoo, Michigan, April 25,1846 and was educated by his aunt, Mrs. John Corl, at Peoria, Illinois. Early in life he studied medicine and was graduated by a school in pharmacy and spent some time in the drug business. He also engaged in the hardware trade at Fort Scott, Kansas and married Miss Josephine Ashbaugh at Nevada, Missouri, January 1, 1872, who together with Corl D. Jenkins, Fred Jenkins and Gladys Jenkins, his children, survive him.
It is difficult to speak of Mr. Jenkins in appropriate words. He was among the noblest types of the race. He was a man of undoubted intellectual capacity, more, in fact than is given to the ordinary man, and he was a friend who could be relied on under the most critical circumstances. He was cheerful and well disposed, and during his long and distressing illness which covered more than a year, he was never heard to complain. He had nothing but good words for the world at large. For his country he had a singleness of intelligent patriotism and devotion. He had a clear conception of our form of government, state and national, and, although he was sometimes misunderstood by those who were not close to him, he was the strong type of the American democrat in life and in thought.
Mr. Jenkins was frequently called to important and responsible public positions. In addition to the local offices held in his immediate precinct, he was chairman of the county board of supervisors over which he presided to the entire satisfaction of the people. When Governor Holcomb was elected, Mr. Jenkins was appointed steward of the hospital for the insane at Norfolk, where he continued until change in the administration. In his private and public life he was a religiously honest man and no one ever questioned his word or his integrity.
He leaves a wife and three children and a large circle of friends to mourn his death, and if his account in eternity are as correct as they are on earth, his destiny can be foretold with certainty.
