DEATH CLAIMS MISS JENNINGS
Funeral Services for Well Known Young Woman Held This Afternoon at Presbyterian Church.
This afternoon at the Presbyterian church, funeral services were conducted by Rev. H.T. Scherer, for one of the most devoted of its members, Miss Allie Jennings, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Martin Jennings, 311 north Second street, who died Saturday afternoon about 5 o'clock. The body was laid to rest in the family lot in Silver Brook cemetery amid a wealth of beautiful floral tributes.
Allizina Jennings was born in Niles Oct. 18, 1893, and had always resided here. She attended the Niles public schools and was graduated with the class of 1915, an event which was saddened for her by the death of her only brother, Jacob Jennings, who died just a few days before the commencement day exercises.
When a very young girl, Miss Jennings, united with the Presbyterian church, and throughout her life she was faithful in attendance and in performing whatever duties devolved upon her. She was a member of the Sunday school and Westminster Guild, at the time of her death, and had been a member of the Christian Endeavor society of the church and also a member of the large chorus choir which sang for several years in the church, and her death is the first among the members of that choir. She had been in ill health for a number of years but had bravely fought to regain her health but in spite of the skill of physicians she continued to fail. About three months ago Miss Jennings' condition became alarming, and she grew steadily weaker until the end came. Through her long illness she was patient and cheerful. She was of a happy, hopeful disposition and readily made friends and many mourn her death and sympathize with the stricken parents in the untimely death of their only daughter.
Miss Jennings was a member of the Niles Hive, No. 39, L.O.T.M., and of New Century Rebekah lodge.
