Her father and mother - John Smith

more about Effie's family I found there
are currently mistakes across the net with
her husbands identity.;
1. John Smith Jenkins and Mary Ella Beall
married in Grayson County in Sherman. in
27 July 1876.
2. They lived in Grayson County and had

3. In the McKinney Weekly
Democrate-Gazette issue of 2 Nov

Her mother died in 1901 and buried in
McKinney in the Pecan Grove Cemetery.
They had a son named Albert Edward Jenkins
born 12 Sep 1883 in McKinney, Texas.
He died 14 Aug 1954. Maui, Hawaii
Territory. and buried in Alameda Ca.
There is a newspaper article about a party
at Mrs J S Jenkins in North West McKinney
in Mar 1890.
Several party-goers were from Van
Alstyne and Whitewright area.
Lawyer J S Jenkins has some ads in the
paper in McKinney.
Then I saw an article in the
McKinney papers in 1897, that Albert
Jenkins is visiting his father,
the "Honorable J S Jenkins" in Oklahoma
City in Oklahoma Territory.
He
went to Oklahoma City and
remarried in 1900
