OLDEST WOMAN IN COUNTY DIES
Mrs. Angeline Jenkins is Dead at Age of 105
Mrs. Angeline Jenkins, aged 105, believed to be the oldest native resident of Carter County, died at her home in Watauga Valley Saturday afternoon at 5 o'clock. Her death was said to have been the result of old age.
Mrs. Jenkins was born near her present home February 14, 1826, according to old residents, and has spent most of her life in the county. She was a member of one of the most prominent families in this section, who had much to do in making Carter County into the present prosperous state. The family came here when the county was almost a virgin wilderness, and were among the first pioneer settlers.
Mrs. Jenkins had a host of friends in East Tennessee through her cheerful disposition, and she retained this cheerfulness almost until death, although she had seen the passing of almost every member of her immediate family.
She is survived by only one daughter and several grand and great-grandchildren. At the time of her death marked the passing of one of the outstanding figures in the early pioneer history of the county.
Funeral services were held from the home this morning at 10 o'clock with the Rev. J. J. Musick in charge. Interment followed in the Buckles Cemetery
