Joseph Scott Jenkins,known as Uncle Scott by most of family was supposedto be a doctor that did not like the medical profession and he became aMethodist Circuit Riding Minister in the late 1800s and early 1900s whenhe came to the home occasionally of William Hurt Jenkins on Kanawha TwoMile and was said to speak with a brogue. My father Hansford R and hissister Martha Ann remember him well as did Mont A and Stewart Jenkins.Where he died and is burried I do not know for sure. He was pastor of theMalden Episcopal Church in its building from 1906-1911. He was said to bea pronounced Prohibitionist in politics. According to his obituary he hada son George in Ashland Ky at the time of his death but I have neverfound a child by this name anywhere. Possibly George was one name ofLeonidas...

Rev. Joseph S. Jenkins, minister of the methodist Episcopal Church, nowstationed at Malden, Kanawha County, WV, and one of the most highlyesteemed citizens of this section, redies on a valuable farm of 138Acres, which lies three miles from Charleston.  He was born May 1, 1835,in Appomattox Co., Va, on the present site of Pamplin City, and is a sonof Thomas and Martha B. (Fore) Jenkins.

Joseph S. Jenkins was seven years old when the family moved to WestVirginia and was mainly educated in the local schools and later atGallipolis, Ohio where he was under the instruction of Professor Siearsfor three years.  In 1859 he became a minister in the Methodist Episopalchurch and has been in active service in the ministry ever sinc.  hisLabors being mainly confined to West Virginia, bu preached some toKentrucky and Ohio.  Few men are better known in the section where helabored in the ministry, and surely none are more highly respected, ifpreaching of funerals and solemonization of matrimony are all indicationof respect and appreciation.
