Show John Lewis Jenbins During commencement week of last June no person was more cheerful and active than our friend and fellow-studeJohn Jenkins Three days after the close of that festive season Jenkins went to St Mark’s Hospital for treatment for appendi- 3 nt J 4 citis and there on the operator’s table he passed from the realm of the living to ‘‘that country from whose bourn no traveler returns” John was only twenty-fou- r years of age and would have completed his college career in one year more He was bom and reared in Elkhorn Oneida County Idaho His mother died when he was four years old He has been a faithful and dutiful son the pride of his father’s heart and a favorite in all the circles of society in which he moved Al- though not widely known it may be truthfully said “None knew him but to love him” He had a well cultured mind he took great pleasure in the investigation of truth he was an ardent admirer of nature and a very successful student His mind was unusually clear and his reasoning powers of a high order Ilis life was one of unselfishness honesty Ilis integrity and true morality aim was to discharge everv dutv -- m J Vd f that devolved upon him to aid his fellows as far as circumstances would permit and to injure no one His life was one of good motives and good deeds His conduct was squared by the highest principles of right and justice It will be a willing duty as we journey through life to cherish his memory We may pattern after his good example with much profit to ourselves John has passed beyond our reach We can do nothing to help him But we may speak words of consolation to his father who survives him To give comfort to those who mourn to manifest a fellow feeling for each other amid the trials of life is one of life’s duties and as the endless procession of humanity moves on to that inevitable end called death let us withhold nothing that will lighten the burdens of our fellow travelers “There is no flock however watched and tended But one dead lamb is there There is no fireside de- how-so-e’- er fended But lias one vacant chair” J J F |
