She was the second daughter of Judge J. F. Woolfolk of Meade Springs, Doe Run. Jennie had la grippe about a year ago, and from its effects she never recovered, although all that kindness, attention, and medical skill could do were administered unceasingly. From the first alarming symptoms, she realized her condition, and for weeks has expressed an entire resignation. She was conscious almost to the last, and called for her sister, Fannie, who was sick in another room, a few minutes before her spirit died. She bestowed a token of love and esteem upon different loved ones, and to members of the family. Jennie Woolfolk had a lovely, amiable, self- sacrificing disposition, and was beloved by all with whom she came in touch and sympathy. She was a devoted daughter, so proud of her father, and ever willing to help mother bear the burdens of home. Affectionate, and helped as sister true and constant to friends. Dear, dear girl, I ask myself ever why, with such a home and its surroundings, with life just opening so full of promise, did death claim so bright a mark? The answer will never be satisfactory here, but "someday, some happy day" when "we rise to worlds unknown" to meet dear Jennie Woolfolk, and bear again that sweet alto voice in the angelic choir we well know why she was summoned to leave us. The remains were interred in the family burying ground, Buck Grove. Brother Cherry and Brother Browder were telephoned for, but could not come. Brother Walton conducted the funeral service, and the presence of so many friends and relatives attested the love in which she was held. Deep, sincere sympathy to the family.
