Note 3: Burial info

Capricornia (Rockhampton) 11 April 1929
MRS. MARY JENKS.
MT. MORGAN. April 8.
A very old and respected resident of
Mt. Morgan in the person of Mrs. Mary
Jenks passed away at her residence, cor-
ner of Central and Crown streets, early
this morning. The deceased was born
at York, England, on Christmas Day,
1840, and was, therefore, 88 years of age.
She came to Brisbane in 1890, and a
couple of years later arrived in Mt.
Morgan. She had been bedridden for
the past 26 years. The cause of death
was old-age and heart failure. Her
husband predeceased her in 1888. She
had a family of eleven children, eight
of whom are still living. They are
Messrs. Arthur (Mt Morgan).
Thomas (Port Kembla),
Alfred (New Zealand),
Mesdames C. E. Kelly (Rockhampton),
E. Blakeney (Brisbane),
W. Wilkinson (Mt. Morgan),
J. Gofton (Townsville),
and Miss J. Jenks (Mt. Morgan). The
funeral takes place to-morrow morning
at 11 o'clock.
