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.
The family settled in Goderich town-
ship arid he had lived in this vicinity
all his life. For a time he had
farmed on the Maitlaed concession
but later left the farm and moved to
Holmesville. For some. years- he was
employed with the Gunn; Langlois
Company, in their grain deneTtment
here in Clinton, Ida buying there
out and taking over the business him-
self, which has since 'been eonclucted
udneeathe firm name of W. Jitikins
and Son. He tame into Clinton to
live, continuing until a little over two
years ago his business at the elevator.
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. Jenkins, who
IWO., connected with him in businese.
