Ridley Walter Jenkins (1867–1887)

The Gundagai Times regrets to learn that Mr. Ridley Jenkins, youngest son of Mr. John Jenkins, of Nangus, who has been in a delicate state of health for some time, succumbed on Saturday morning, at the early age of 20. The deceased had made himself a universal favorite, and much sympathy has been expressed for his mourning relatives.
