JENKS, apparently in his usual health, had just walked up the steps to the lobby with Sheriff Jim Griffitts and had been talking about the weather. He said he had come to the court house to renew his driver's license. He sat down on a bench in the lobby and started to take his driver's license out of his billfold, and slumped over. A doctor was summoned who pronounced him dead. JENKS, who has been quite active throughout his long life, would have been 89 years of age later this month. The JENKS farm, located northeast of Fairfield, rose to prominence in 1939 when it was the sight (sic) of the state corn husking contest. It was the last hand picking contest held in Iowa on a state-wide basis, and drew an estimated crowed of 20,000 for the day. The body was taken to the Raymond Funeral home where last rites are pending. Survivors include two sons, Samuel, Chicago; and Paul, Fairfield; five grandchildren, six great grandchildren; and a ister, Minnie JENKS, Fairfield. JENKS was a life-long resident of the community. He was born and reared on the farm where he lived his entire life. The farm is located northeast of Fairfield. ~~~~ Fairfield Ia.
