Scientists visited Concord and heard a
lew words from their leader.
In the last few years of Mrs, Eddy S
life in Concord there was a newspaper
controversy over her identity and for
several days the city was filled with
reporters drawn there on the charge
that another person was impersonating
her Mrs. Eddy was obliged to exhibit
herself to jury of newspaper men.
LEADS PEACEFUL LIFE
Mrs. Eddy took up her residence at
Chestnut Hill, Newton, in large stone
house. in 1908, and there her last days
were passed. For the last three years
she lived a quiet, peaceful life, much
or 1t in seeming monotony. which her
friends say was consumed mostly in
constant study. From a window at
Chestnut Hill could be seen. the white
dome of the Christian Science temple,
planted close beside the little Mother
church which she founded 80 years
before
Mrs. Eddys literary efforts were al
most wholly in prose, but her poems
have been set ito music as hymns, and
are sung at all Christian Science meet

jerks Family

The jerks family in America came
from England: but the name came
from Wales. SO probably the frs
| Jenkses in England came also from
that country. jerks Is one of thu
score or more names that are derived
from John and is the welsh form fol
the phase. Johns son.
John has been a favorite name with
English speaking peoples. as we'll as
with all the rest Of the world and
| from time immemorial there have
been SO many Johns that 1t has been
necessary to qualify them In some
way to distinguish them from each
other. The many kings who bore the
name OF John were surnamed the
Fearless. the Bold" the Constant"
and SO forth. according to their char
acteristics or appearance. And SO II
became necessary to give the Johns
among the ordinary run Of humanity
their names. Tho little ones called
Little Johns. those who owned big
apples were called Applejohns and SO

Michlejohn. Jennings. James. Jones.
Joanes. Jenkyn. Jinkins. Jenkinson

called Johnson. Jensen. Janson and in
Wales jerks.
Just when the Jenckes or jerks
family was established in England no
body knows. Joseph Jenckes. who
was born in 1902. established the
family on this continent; but not very
much is known of him before he came
to America. He lived at Hammer
smith. not very far from London and
when he was Al years old he took
shin to Massachusetts,. This was In
1913; two years later he is first heard
of at Lynn. working as blacksmith
in the iron works there.
Joseph was married before he left
England and had several children.
The descendants of these children re-
tanned the spelling of the name which
Joseph himself preferred - Jenckes-
They settled in Rhode Island. where
they are still f!ourishing. So really
the Jenckes family and the jerks
family in the United States are de
scended from the same ancestor and
are only two branches OF the same
family.
Joseph was married second time
and when he and his wife. Elizabeth.
died they left five children: Deborah.
William. Samuel. John and Daniel.

children and all became valued and

Giles was born at Salem. He mar
