JENKINS, Mr.

FROM DAVIS NEWS
Two men were killed at Henry this week. A Mr. Jenkins, from near Martinsburg, W Va. He was working in the upper vein of the shaft, (the shaft being near 500 feet) and as the cage passed up he rang the electric bell for it to stop, but having been tardy in ringing the bell the cage passed about ten feet above its accustomed place, before stopping, and he opened the gate and walked out and fell two hundred feet, broke his neck and one leg. He breathed until they got him above ground. The other man was a Pole and was killed by the slate falling on him while digging coal. These are the first serious accidents which have occurred at Henry.

JENKINS, Mrs. Flora Elizabeth Evans

Overdose of Drug Is Believed Cause Of Jenkins Death ~ Wife of Local Taxi Official Is Found Dead at Home
Although investigation is not complete, indications point to an accidental overdose of a sleep inducing drug as the cause of the death of Mrs. Flora Elizabeth Evans Jenkins, 32, who was found dead on the kitchen floor of her home, 117 Wilmont avenue, early yesterday morning, according to Dr. LInne H. Corson, deputy county medical examiner. Mrs. Jenkin's body was found slumped near the kitchen sink by her husband, Fred W. Jenkins, an official of the Astor Cab Companyu about 1:30 a.m. yesterday. Dr. Corson said she apparently had been dead since about 11 o'clock Sunday night. [some details re: autopsy omitted] State's Attorney Morgan C. Harris said Jenkins told him his wife was lying on the floor and that she evidently had just taken a drink of water inasmuch as water was running from the faucet in the kitchen sink. Mrs. Jenkins had a bruise near one of her eyes and several others on her body, Dr. Corson stated, but he added that none of the bruises was recent and were suffered in a fall several days ago. He pointed out that there was no sign of violence in connection with her death. About two years ago, Mrs. Jenkns's brother Lee French Evans, was burned to death when a trailer truck he was operating crashed and caught fire. Besides her husband, Mrs. Jenkins is survived by here parents, Samuel and Nannie E. Evans, 603 Kent avenue, and one brother Samuel Evans, Frostburg.
