General Notes: Husband - John W. Jenks, Jr.

---

He read medicine in his early life, but never followed the profession to any extent, preferring a business life. He owned and operated a tannery which was one of the prosperous industrial plants at Punxsutawney, Jefferson County, Pennsylvania, in his active years, giving most of his attention to its management. Though possessed of notable ability and executive capacity, he cared nothing for the glory of conspicuous service; but led a quiet life, in the course of which he made many friends.
