The Oakdale Sentinel- March 21, 1919

Glenne Beatrice JENNINGS

Miss Glenne Beatrice Jennings was born in Oakdale, March 29, 1890 and died at her home northeast of this city, March 20, 1919 being aged 28 years, 11 months and 21 days. She had been working beyond her strength for some time and was not prepared to resist an attack of the flu which later developed pneumonia and brought about the end, which came about 10 o’clock Wednesday evening. Only last Saturday did she consent to take to her bed, so busy was she with her work and ministering to those who were dependent upon her. Miss Jennings had been in the employ of the Torpin Grain Company for about two years, having received her commercial training at the Norfolk Business College. The deceased was the friend of all who knew her and never was known to hesitate a moment to render a service to anyone, though it should interfere with her pleasure of comfort. She was the chief stay of the family, both parents being in ill health most of the time. She united with the Congregational church in Neligh about ten years ago and her name is still on their records. Funeral services were held in the Methodist church today, conducted by the Rev. C. L. Myers, D. D. and interment was in the Oakdale Cemetery.
