He was a member of the First Baptist Church, Fraternal Order of Woodman of
the World, and was active in the adult fellowship of the church.

Funeral services are pending at the First Baptist Church in LeMars. Rev.
George Dunn will officiate. [Interesting note in the margin written in my
Grandmother's handwriting...."Geo. Jennings held the service because of the
sudden death of Dr. Dunn.]

Burial will be in LeMars Memorial cemetery under direction of the Mauer
funeral home.

Survivors are his wife, Ivy, of LeMars and two adopted sons, John Jennings
of Bellflower, Calif., and George Jennings of Beaver Falls, Pa.
