The life of the late Frances e.
Jenkins merits more than passing
notice.
She was born in Maryland in 1905
her parents removing to Chester
county, Pa, while she was quite
young, she was then placed with
family of Friends, where she spent
the remnant of her minority.
Beingof an industrious, tractable
and conscientious nature, she was
highly esteemed and was favored
to attend Sabbath meetings regu-
larly with the family, a privilege
not usually conferred to those so
situated. She frequently referred
to this epoch in her life with much
heartfelt appreciation. The useful
lessons then and there inculcated,
were indelibly stamped on after life
and were of permanentvalue through
the vicissitudes of lengthenedyears.
Her married life was mostly spent
in Philadelphia, Pa. She had thir-
teen children, only one surviving
her. For the past thirty years she
has resided in Wilmington, where
for efficiency and trustworthiness
she won the esteem of all who knew
her. She was usefully associated
in philanthropic work, was a zeal
GUS member of the Methodist church
and there will be long and affection
ately remembered. She was among
the first to be admitted into tho
Sarah White Home where she
received, not only from the manage
ment, but from many of the inmates,
the most kindly attention. From
there she passed calmly and peace.

inheritance she had so zcalously
striven.
