JENKS of 924 cliff street, residents of this city for the past quarter century, celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary Sunday, November 8, at the home of their son, Clayton L. JENKS, in Worcester, Mass. Mr. JENKS, 84, and Mrs. JENKS, 70, were married at the ages of 24 and 19 respectively.

Both are descended from a pure line of Englishand New England ancestry , although they have always lived in New York State. The family moved here from Oneida County in 1908. Mr. JENKS traces his family back to the tribal kings of early Wales, and thru Joseph JENKS, first governor of Rhode Island, and his grandfather, Joseph, founder of the family in America in 1642. This latter pioneer built the first iron works in America near Lynn, and there made the dies for the pine tree shilling and Boston's first fire engine. The couple likes to relate that the first patent in America was granted to him in 1646 "for an engine that goes by water." Mr. Jenks ' mother was a CUSHMAN, descended from Thomas CUSHMAN, whose fiancée, Mary ALLERTON, came over on the Mayflower. Thomas started on another boat at the same time but his boat had to turn back for repairs. The couple says they enjoy nothing more than an automobile journeys, destination unknown at the outset. One of Mr. JENKS' interests is in memorizing the populations and area of cities, counties andstate of American cities.
