I do not have a bio of George Washington Jenkins. Noreen Odle simply said when he was old relatives took care of him -- he was an old bachelor.
NOTE: G. Noreen Odle is a daughter of Francis & Bertha Odle. Francis Odle was the son of Reuben & Gracie Ethel (Jenkins) Odle. Gracie was the daughter of Daniel Henry Jenkins & Solomae May Odle. Daniel Henry Jenkins was an older brother to George Washington Jenkins.
George Washington Jenkins is buried next to Abram Click & Emma D (Jenkins) Click (Butcher). (Butcher because she married again briefly after Abram Click died). Emma was George's older sister who died many years before him. Emma D (Jenkins) & Abram Click are my maternal grandmother's paternal grandparents.
Neither George Washington Jenkins nor Emma D (Jenkins) Click (Butcher) have headstones. I was hoping that I could find that George Washington Jenkins was a veteran so he could get a veterans tombstone like his brother-in-law Abram Click. Unfortunately I cannot find any such fact. He would have only been 10 when the Civil War ended in 1865, and he would have been 43 when the Spanish American War happened (1898). So odds are he wasn't a vet.
Do note that he was the last child of Daniel & Joanna B (Austin) (Widger) Jenkins to be born in New York -- most likely Newport, Herkimer Co., New York. After that they were briefly in Wisconson where Jacob "Isaiah" was born. Then they moved to Minnesota where the rest of their children were born. Then they moved to Beloit, Mitchell Co, Kansas.
I'm not sure how George Washington ended up in Grey County, but since some of Daniel Henry Jenkins's (his older brother) family was there he might have move there too. It does appear that in the 1900 Census he was in Mitchell county as head of household with his Dad and niece (Anna's daughter, Vivian Pearl). (Note that his occupation was stone mason.)
Perhaps after his dad died in 1907, George headed to Gray Coutyy to be near other family members.
