She was married in 1853 to L.E. Jenkins, whose death occurred eight years ago. To them were born three children, two of whom survive, Mr. Jenkins and a daughter, Mrs. O.A. DeLancey, now of Prairieburg.
The family came to Cedar Rapids in 1876, and have ever since occupied the Second avenue homestead.

Besides her children, Mrs. Jenkins is survived by two grandchildren, Mrs. C.H. Goodyear and Karl D. Jenkins, both of this city.
