Jenks, Anson L., was born in the town of Caroline: May 9, 1862, a son of D. B. Jenks, a native of Tioga county,
who came to this locality in 1843, buying the farm now owned by Anson L. He married, fifty one years ago, Nancy
Lyman of Berkshire, Tioga county, by whom he had four children, our subject being the youngest. The latter has
conducted the farm since he was seventeen years of age, his father having been an invalid for twenty five years.
He has made a specialty of raising blooded horses, and his farm is known as the Hillside Stock Farm. He has about
forty head of cattle and six Percheron horses. His wife was Mary Blackman of Caroline, and they have one daughter,
Anna M., now five years of age. Our subject is a Good Templar, a member of the Grange, and supports the Prohibition
party.
