The man who was always first to minister aid to a neighbor in sickness or distress is gone. The voice that carried nought but cheer and sunshine wherever heard is stilled forever. On Thursday morning Ed. Jenkins was joking with his friends on the streets of Columbus, apparently in the best of health. At eleven o'clock Thursday night he was dead. His death was caused by hemorrhage of the brain, resulting probably from heat prostration. He had over-worked the day before ahd complained in the morning of headache although he kept at work and had almost finished blacking a stove in the wood-house when his wife found him in a state of partial collapse. His head was drooping to one side and he had sank to the ground, his legs refusing to support him. When Mrs. Jenkins asked him what was the matter he said: "Mamma I'm just about all in." She called in neighbors who carried him to the house and summoned the family physician. His condition improved for awhile and it was thought he would recover. But at seven o'clock he was attacked by severe pains in the head and at ten o'clock lapsed into unconsciousness, passing away forty minutes later. E.H. Jenkins was born at Elkhart, Indiana, April 19, 1851. When twenty years old he came to Columbus with his parents and engaged at his trade as tin-smith. On August 31, 1876 he married Miss Elizabeth Turner and went to live on his Madison county homestead. In 1894 he returned to Columbus with his family and has lived here since. Mr. Jenkins was senior vice-commander of the Nebraska Division Sons of Veterans camp and a member of Columbia Lodge A.O.U.W. In all these organizations he was active and no member would be missed more than he. He is survived by his widow and one son Levi A. Jenkins and one brother, C.D. Jenkins of Norfolk. The funeral was held at the family residence on West Thirteenth street Sunday afternoon at three o'clock, Rev. L.R. DeWolf of the Methodist church officiating. Members of the Grand Army, Sons of Veterans and A.O.U.W. attended in a body and marched to the cemetery. Among the relatives and friends from a distance who attended the funeral were: Mr. and Mrs. C.D. Jenkins and daughter Gladys, of Norfolk; Mr. and Mrs. Carl Jenkins and daughter, Joseph and Fred Jenkins of Kalamazoo, Neb., Mr. and Mrs. B.H. Moore and Mrs. Luke Hanna and son George, Perry, Ia.; Burt McKinnie and George Turner, Loup City, Neb.; Mr. and Mrs. Richard Ballard, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Stibley, Mr. and Mrs. William Wills, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Yeazel, and John Horst, of Madison; A.B.
