The citizens. of Clintop and vicin- ity were ehocked on Sunday morning when it became knovin that Caluncile lor William Jenkins had passed away at the hoepitale wiaere he had under- gone an operation about ten days previously. • . For some days after 'his operation"' Mr. Jenkins' condation was considered critical but ' he had steadily pro- gressed until stronghaees were en- tertained for his recovery. On the morning of his death he had taken his breakfast and had chatted cheer- fully with a nurse, eilien he suddenly grew faint, and before hie wife and son tou14 reach him, his life ebbed out. A bloodclot in the heart was said to ibe the fin -mediate cauee. Ow- ing to the fact that his Tecovery was confidentlyexpected Meesedden death was all the more of a shock to , his family. • ' Mr. Jenkins was a native of Pick- eting township burcame up to Huron countywith his parents wien a child.

He then bought the store next door to The News -Record building, built a large`shed in the rear and conduct - d1 a flour and feed business. A year and a half ago they' purchased the Cettle greenhouses, moved -Wein to the lot opposite their, residence in Orange street, building commodious ,greeneriee and last seasen and this had conducted a very.suceessful hor- itcnituja1 business as well, Vint seemed to be the work he loved and it was a pleasinp to see him working about among the growing' things. , Although he Was a busy man, hav- ing many responsibilities in atten- tion with his" two branches of endeav- or, he still had time to giere-to ,puhlie affairs: and for the -past two years had been a member of the town teen- cil. 'He was chairman of the peeks committee and had taken considerable interest in fitting up the park against the home cotning--ofethe Clinton Old Boys, an event which he was destined not to witness. e He was a MethodisP, being connect- ed with Ontario street church, arid a member of the Canadian Order of Foresters. , He is suyvived by his wife, who was formerly_ Miss Annie Lindsay, and one son, Frank A.
