Mr. Wade H. Jenkins Dies After Short Illness
   On last Wednesday morning at 11 o'clock Mr. Wade Hampton Jenkins died at his 
home in Oconee Mill village.  His death was due to stroke of paralysis, and he 
was seriously ill only a few hours.  Mr. Jenkins collapsed and fell while 
working on Tuesday and he was never able to speak distinctly after he fell.  
Mr. Jenkins was a faithful employee of the Oconee Mills for more than twenty 
years, working in the carding department.  He was a good operative and was on 
his job when the fetal stroke seized him.  Mr. Jenkins was in unusual good 
spirits, jolly and enjoying life last Tuesday and his passing was quite a shock 
to all.  He was the eldest son of Capt. N. H. Jenkins and Mrs. Lizzie McCay 
Jenkins both of whom are dead.  He was reared in the Westminster locality.  He 
leaves his widow, who before her marriage to Mr. Jenkins, Mrs. Amanda Brown 
Adams and three stepsons, Claude, S. J. and Paul Adams.  Also,  he leaves 
several sisters.
Mr. Jenkins was an honest man.  He was clever kind and true to his friends.  
There are many who join in extending sympathy to the bereaved widow.  After 
funeral services conducted from the Imanuel Baptist church by his pastor, Dr. 
Will O. Gordon, the body was interred in Eastview cemetery in the family plot, 
where his father, mother and brother, Paul, are buried.
