I found a pension record on line in GA virtual vault. I THINK her maiden name was Simon, but could be wrong. Hard to read. She says she married first W. H. Price in Henry co, Ga
in 1861 and he died Nov. 1864. Then she married W. H. Jenkins in Feb 9, 1865 and he died in Jan 1916. She was applying for pension based on first husband's service, from what I could tell...but she did not give his unit. And I don't think she was approved as she could not give the unit or any witnesses.

From the Jackson Progress-Argus, July 9, 1920
In Memory Of Mrs. W. H. Jenkins.

On the beautiful 4th day of July, Jesus came and took from us our dear sweet mama. After several months of agonizing Jesus saw that a vacant place in heaven should be filled, and He took her home where there is no suffering but where all is joy and love.

One of the saddest moments that I have ever spent was when the message came that she had passed away. Although expecting it, it was indeed a shock to all of us. Although her suffering being great she was the same sweet mama until the last. And the sweetest of all she was ready to meet her Savior, One whom she would call on so many times to come and relieve her of her suffering. Still we cannot understand why the one we loved so dear should be taken from us, but God works in mysterious ways, and let us reconciled and think it was for a good cause.

Now, brothers and sisters, we know dear mama is in heaven and can't come back to us, so let us live so that we can all meet her and our dear papa over there where the rainbow never fades, where the stars will be spread out before us like the islands that slumber in the ocean and where the beautiful being that loomed up before us along the journey of life will stay forever in our presence. Mama was 73 years old the 24th day of Dec. 1919. She was a member of the Missionary Baptist church and was a devoted Christian, a loving wife and sweet mother.

She leaves twelve sons and ____ daughters. The funeral was at the Sandy Creek Church, Monday, July 5, in the presence of a large and sorrowing assembly of her loved ones and friends. She was gently laid away by the side of our dear papa.

Now we want to thank everyone for their kindness during our mama's illness and death, also for the beautiful flowers.
Mama, thou wast mild and lovely,
Gentle as the summer breeze
Pleasant as the air of evening
When it floats among the trees
Peaceful be your silent slumber
Peaceful in the grave so low
Thou no more will join our number
There no more our song shall join
Dearest mama thee has left us
Here they ____ we deeply feel
But tis God that hath bereft us
He can all our sorrow heal
Written by her baby girl Mary.
