Dr. Jenkins Death is Mourned by this Community
This community mourns the passing of one of its sterling citizens, Dr. L.A. Jenkins, who died at his home in Moulton last Thursday. Actively associated with community progress and church work here his organization work and will to accomplish something will be an incentive to his family and large circle of friends. He has been ill for some time.
Dr. Jenkins was a dynamic force in the community until his health failed and even then kept close touch on anything he thought would be for the betterment of the town and community which he called his home. A man of firm convictions, he just as forceably opposed that which he thought was detrimental. He occupied many positions of importance in Moulton and exercised good judgment in furthering progressive plans. Dr. Jenkins will be greatly missed not only by his family but by his business associates and in his church which was so much a part of his everyday life.
LeRoy Albert Jenkins, son of Frank and Tena Jenkins, was born April 6, 1880 at Clayton, Iowa and departed from this life on June 8, 1950. At the age of two, he moved with his parents from Clayton to Arlington.
As a young man, he entered the lumber and seed business. In 1915 he was graduated from the Palmer School of Chiropractic and practiced this profession in Bloomfield and Moulton until his health failed in 1942. He dearly loved his chiropractic profession and it is an established fact that no one was ever turned from the door of his office because of lack of money to pay for his services.
In 1902, Dr. Jenkins was united in marriage with Bertha Newcomb. Four children blessed this union: Mrs. Erma Hess, of near Moulton; Master Sergeant Lyle N. Jenkins, of St. Louis, Missouri; Darrell, and an infant son deceased. Mrs. Jenkins passed away in 1912.
In 1914, he was married to Ellen Duttweiler of Lockridge, who with an infant son, passed on in 1920. In 1922, he married Miss Nora M. Hayden who remains to mourn his passing and who so faithfully cared for him during his long illness for eighteen months of which he was a shut-in. He is survived also by one brother and two sisters, Oscar Jenkins of Stanhope, Iowa, Mabel Runkle of Vancouver, Washington and Neva Ross of Marshall, Missouri, and five grandchildren, Melvalene Hess, Lyle Jr., Lynn, Darrell and Shirley Anne Jenkins. His father, mother and brothers Fred and Henry have preceded him in death.
In early manhood, Dr. Jenkins gave his heart to God and united with the Christian Church at Arlington, in which church he had the pleasure of giving one of his religious talks as recently as two years ago. In 1922, he united with the Methodist Church in Moulton and remained a faithful, loyal member until the time of his passing. Not content with being a "hearer" only, Dr. Jenkins' devotion to his Lord was manifested by active participation in the work of his Church. As Superintendent of the Sunday School and teacher of the Men's Bible Class, he contributed immeasurably to the program of the church he loved so well. At the time of his death, he was a member of the Board of Trustees of the church and, in spite of his illness, showed a deep interest in every activity of that body.
The community mourns the passing of Dr. Jenkins because he will be missed as a husband, father, brother and friend. The church will miss his valued assistance in all of its programs and the community will miss his kindly ministrations as a doctor and friend.
Funeral services were held at the Moulton Methodist church Sunday afternoon, conducted by the pastor Rev. Richard Bentzinger. Burial was in Oakland cemetery. Pallbearers were members of the I.O.O.F. and Masonic lodges, two organizations which were so much a part of Dr. Jenkins' life. Moulton Weekly Tribune, Thursday, June 15, 1950
