His WW I draft registration card, filed 12 Sep 1918, records Charley Samuel Jenkins, age 34, residence Clearfield, Rowan Co., Ky, born 18 Jan 1884, occupation railroading, employer M & NFRR, Clearfield, nearest relative Flora E. Jenkins, same address.

The Kentucky death index lists Flora E. Johnson, age 66, died 27 Nov 1954 in Rowan Co., residence same.

Flora is buried with her first husband Charles Jenkins, with her gravestone inscribed Flora E. Jenkins, 1888 - 1954.

In 1933 Flora’s sister Bertha and her husband Howard Hall were granted guardianship of Charley and Flora’s six youngest children. I don’t know why, since Flora was still living, and remarried to her third husband William Harlan Johnson.
