Mrs. Kate Jenkins Crockett
At her home in Bridgeport, on Thursday morning, May 15, 1904, this excellent Christian woman, passed away, in her forty-fifth year. She had been ill for a year or more past, but only the last months was she confined to her house and bed. It was the old story of consumption and its fatal end.
Mrs. Crockett leaves a husband, Mr. Coleman H Crockett, and three little children. There yet remain of her family two brothers, Messrs. Robert Bailey Jenkins and John Jenkins, of Louisville, and a sister Miss Emma Jenkins of Bridgeport. Several years ago her sister, Mrs. Sue Jenkins Towles , and at an earlier date, her father Stephen and mother Mary "joined the silent majority".
The writer recalls the happy days gone by when the Jenkins home circle was complete, and when at the Jenkins fireside, in Bridgeport, the center of old time hospitality, were gathered all the sweet spirts which made it an unceasing source of domestic joy. If the heavenly home is a brighter spot, as of course it is, then "what must it be to the there?"
Of that home circle "Miss Kate" as we called her, was one of the sweetest and best. A genuine Christian, happy in being useful and doing good, a favorite in all the community, none knew her but to lover her, none named her but to praise. And what the girl was, that also was the woman, the wife, mother, neighbor and friend. In every relation of she was the same true, devoted and unselfish person. Never very robust, always with energy beyond her strength, ‘ere many years had flown her health began to fail, and, spite of her brave struggle, the observing eye could see that the end could not be very far off. Sad to leave her husband and little children, and to bid farewell to kindred and friends she loved so well, yet ripe and ready for the great change, she bows submissive to the will of Him, "whose she was and whom she served". Truly the end was peace and triumph.
A large gathering of old friends filled the church, and by their presence spoke their respect and love, when the funeral service was held. Moist eyes, better than any words, told of the universal sympathy with the bereaved, and a large and mournful processing followed on to the beautiful Frankfort Cemetery, where now sleep until the "resurrection of the just" the mortal remains of this worthy Christian woman.
What better comfort can we proffer to those who remain than the words of the sympathizing Christ, "Let not your heart be troubled; ye believe in God, believe also in me".
