 ELECTA JEANETTE TUTTLE JENKINS
 Mrs. Electa T. Jenkins of Vernon Was of Revolutionary Ancestry
 VERNON Mrs. Electa Tuttle Jenkins, widow of Josiah W. Jenkins, who passed away yesterday was 99 years old on June 1 last. The deceased whose maiden name was Electa Jeanette Tuttle, was of colonial ancestry and it had been said had an ancestor who came to this country on the Mayflower. Her grandfather, Samuel Austin, was a major in the Revolutionary War. She was a daughter of Capt. and Mrs. David Tuttle, who were natives of Connecticut and who moved to Smithfield, Madison County, where Miss Tuttle was born, June 1, 1819. The family moved to Smithfield upon the representation and solicitation of Judge Smith, father of Garret Smith, the famous abolitionist. Captain Tuttle remained in Smithfield but a short time, for when his daughter was a year and a half old the family moved to Vernon Center, Miss Tuttle spent two years in a ladies boarding school at Skaneateles which was conducted by a Quaker named Caleb McKeel. Later the school at Skaneateles was abandoned and Mr. McKeel reopened in Vernon, where also Miss Tuttle attended it for some time. June 24, 1835, Miss Tuttle was married to Attorney Josiah Whipple Jenkins of this place. They settled in the village of Vernon, which continued to be the home of Mrs. Jenkins. Her husband died October, 1852, and since that time she had made her home with her son, Josiah Whipple Jenkins, of this village.
 Two of her sons entered the War of the Rebellion and one of then Col. David Tuttle Jenkins of the One Hundred and forty-sixth regiment, New York Volunteers, was killed, The other was Capt. James E. Jenkins, also of the One Hundred and Forty-sixth who died in Vernon in 1888.
 Mrs. Jenkins was a member of the Unitarian Church. With the exception of the fact that she suffered some-what from impaired eyesight, she retained her faculties to a remarkable degree, took a keen interest in the affaires of the day and was an interesting conversationalist. Many will regret to learn of her death. Mrs. Jenkins leaves the son mentioned, with whom she resided and a daughter, Mrs. Morris D. Brewer of Minneapolis, Minn.
