                            MRS. JENKINSON
                            HAS PASSED AWAY
                            
                       DEATH OF WELL KNOWN WOMAN
                        WAS SUDDEN - HAD GIVEN
                           MUCH TO CHARITY
                           
                      ONLY ON TUESDAY SHE ATTENDED
                            TO A NUMBER OF
                           BUSINESS DETAILS
                           
                 MRS. ELIZA M. JENKINSON, widow of the late
               WILLIAM JENKINSON died very suddenly at her
               home, 1316 Military street at 2:30 o'clock
               this morning. MRS. JENKINSON was apparently
               in fairly good health up to Tuesday and at-
               tended to a number of business details with
               WILLIAM R. STOUTAR, manager of the JENKINSON
               estate.
                 It was while talking with MR. SOUTAR on
               Tuesday afternoon that MRS. JENKINSON was
               taken with a sinking spell. Medical attend-
               ance was hastily summoned, but MRS. JENKINSON
               gradually few worse and passed away at an
               early hour this morning.
                 MRS. JENKINSON had resided in Port Huron
               since 1871 and was widely known and universally
               respected for her sterling qualities of heart
               and mind. Many who shared her unobtrusive 
               charities will long remember the quiet friend
               who helped them in their need. MRS. JENKINSON
               is survived by one daughter, Mrs. (Dr.)
               MORTIMER WILLSON, who is very ill at her home
               on Military street.
                 MRS. JENKINSON, whose maiden name was ELIZA
               M. STETTLER was married to WILLIAM JENKINSON
               in 1856. MR. JENKINSON came to Port Huron in
               1857 and became engaged in the lumber business.
               For years he shipped quantities of lumber to
               Chicago and eastern ports and was also inter-
               ested in several boat lines. He was also a
               large stockholder in the First National Ex-
               chamge bank and had large property holdings
               in this city.
                 MR. JENKINSON died a number of years ago
               leaving a large estate, the management of
               which devolved upon MRS. JENKINSON. On Mon-
               day MRS. JENKINSON closed the details of
               transaction by which she purchased the F. A.
               PEAVEY residence on Military street and it
               was her intention to occupy the home. MRS.
               JENKINSON owned several of the most valuable
               business blocks in this city.
                 A short time ago MRS. JENKINSON gave $3,000
               to the First Congregational church and her
               interest in worthy institutions was manifested
               by her frequent gifts.
                 The date of her funeral will be announced
               later.
