  1. 2.  Eliza "Lida" M. JenckesEliza "Lida" M. Jenckes Descendancy chart to this point (1.Clara1) was born 13 Jan 1886, RI; died Jan 1975, RI.

    Notes:

    When I was very young, we went to visit Eliza, or "Cousin Lida," on Jenckes Lane, off Route 44 in Graniteville, Johnston, RI.

    In the 1920 Federal Census, Eliza is age 35, living with her widowed mother Clara Jenckes on Putnam Pike in Johnston, RI.

    I believe Lida was a schoolteacher at Graniteville, RI. In the Johnston Museum there is a Graniteville School souvenir booklet dated 1911, and this names Miss Eliza M. Jenckes as one of three teachers there.

    From my dad: "I know from what my mother told me that Lida began teaching (as I understood it) at the former Belknap School, which was opposite the Belknap Chapel on Geenville Avenue . . . I do know that after Lida returned to RI from New Britain, Conn., that she began teaching at Graniteville, and taught there until her retirement."
