Thomas C. Jennings, for many years an honored and esteemed citizen of Victoria Township, died at Mercy Hospital in Des Moines last Thursday where he had been for a month being treated for a complication of troubles which culminated in his death.
The funeral was held from the Catholic church in Reno last Saturday morning at 10 o'clock. Rev. Father Appleby officiating. Interment at Reno.
The pallbearers were: James Cullen, Michael Cullen, Ambrose Cullen, Wm. Sweeney, Irwin Connor and John Curry.
Thomas Jennings was born in County Sligo, Ireland, September 15, 1846. He was married to Miss Mary Miller at Corning, Iowa. The wife preceded him in death twenty three years ago. Five children were born to them. Two died in infancy. The surviving children are: Edward Jennings, Creston, Iowa, Patrick and Nellie at home.
Mr. Jennings was a fine type of the sturdy Irish who left the native sod and came to America to carve out their fortune by their hands. He was eminently successful. As a citizen and neighbor he was true and faithful and as a parent kind and solicitous. He leaves the memory of a good name. In the loss of their father the children have the general sympathy of the vicinity.
