"Mrs. Palmer Jenkins died at her home in this place on Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock, at the age of 74 years. Mrs. Jenkins has been confined to the house, and a part of the time to the bed for several months past, and her death, although a shock to the members of the family, was not unexpected. She has for many years been one of the leading members of the Baptist church, and an ever-welcome person in social circles, and will be greatly missed. The funeral services will be held at the house at 2 o'clock this afternoon, and the remains will be taken to La Grange for interment. We extend sympathy to her bereaved husband." (Tunkhannock Republican, 8 Aug 1890.)
"PALMER JENKINS was born in Tunkhannock, November 2nd 1814, and married Jane, daughter of James Brown of Eaton. They have an adopted daughter.
