JENKINS--At his home in Kalamazoo precinct, Madison county, Neb., Tuesday, Dec. 14, 1886, at 8 p.m., Levi Jenkins, aged 69 years, 5 months and 8 days. Mr. Jenkins was born at Canadaigua, New York, in 1817. In 1841 he married Miss Julia Gilpin. Mrs. Jenkins and two sons, Charles and Edward, remain to mourn the loss of husband and father. For some years the deceased resided in Michigan. In 1866 he came west to Iowa, thence in a few years, to Nebraska, where he has since made his home in Kalamazoo precinct, Madison county. In 1863 he joined the 13th Michigan Infantry, remaining with his regiment till the close of the war, when but four hundred of the eleven who formed the regiment, returned to their homes. He was with Sherman in his famous March to the Sea, and fought in the last battle of the war. He entered the army with that loyalty which he displayed through life, to his friend, his home and his country. He was a man strong in character, generous and sympathetic in mind and heart. During the past few months he has been a sufferer from Bright's disease of the kidneys.
"Stealing away like the stars of the morning,
Passing away ere the day has begun;
So let him steal away, gently and lovingly,
Only remembered by what he has done." per sm
