SUCCUMBS AT LAST
Will D. JENKINS Breathes His Last This Morning
He Was A Pioneer of Whatcom, Locating Here Over Twenty Years Ago - Founder Of Whatcom Reveille - Credit Due Him For Laying The Foundation Of The City Of Whatcom.
Will D. Jenkins, ex-Secretary of the State of Washington, died at San Francisco this morning at 7 o'clock; the news was conveyed to this city by a telegram from Mrs. Jenkins to D.C. Jenkins. The receipt of this news is a shock to the many friends of Mr. Jenkins on Bellingham Bay, Whatcom county and the state in general.
He was a pioneer of Whatcom, having located here over 20 years ago, and no man on Bellingham Bay has done more for the locality or Whatcom county than Will D. Jenkins. He was the founder of the Whatcom Reveille, and in partnership with T. G. Nicklin edited and published the weekly Reveille until the plant was sold to Adams & Evans. Mr. Jenkins has been identified with the history of Whatcom ever since he arrived here, over a score of years ago. In fact, through the medium of his paper, he worked early and late and the up-building of our city on the Bay, and to him is due the credit of laying the foundation for the present city of Whatcom, by attracting home seekers who came to subdue the virgin forest, utilize the many natural resources, which he so often portrayed with his pen.
He has held many responsible positions of trust since his residence here. He served the city of Whatcom as mayor, was supervisor of the census bureau of the state in 1890, and was elected secretary of state in 1896. Mr. Jenkins leaves a widow and five children to mourn his loss - D. C. Jenkins, city editor of the Blade, Will D., Zulu, and two younger daughters. His parents, Mr. and Mrs. D. C. Jenkins, Sr., and several brothers, reside in this city. Interment will be made in the cemetery at San Francisco.
The body will not be brought to the Bay on account of the illness of the two daughters, Buda and Doris, who are seriously ill with scarlet fever and diphtheria.
