RICHARD H. JENNESS.
Richard H. Jenness, commissione
of the United States land office a
O’Neill from 1897 to 1901, died at th
city hospital in Okmulgee, Oklahomi
Saturday morning April 2, at 6 o’clocl
from a stroke of apoplexy suffered th
previous Thursday evening, not re
gaining consciousness from the time c
the stroke until his death. Mr. Jer
ness was commissioner of finance c
the city of Okmulgee. The followin
partial account of his death is fror
^ the Okmulgee Daily Times of April 3
“From the time when he was strict
en until the last, the commissione
was never conscious and only once wa
there any indication that he would r<
" gain consciousness.
“News of his death cast a pall c
gloom over the city. Every man wh
has lived in Okmulgee for five year
or more felt that he had lost a goo
friend. At the city hall where he ha
labored so faithfully and zealously i
behalf #f the citizenship during th
past nine years, there was feeling c
utter sadness for it is doubtful if th
city has ever had an official who wa
sc universally beloved as was Coir
ir.issioner Jenness,
Mr. Jenness would have been 6
years old on June 1. He was born £
Lyndenwood, Illinois, in 1857. H:
father was a printer and newspapt
publisher and it was natural that th
£on should follow the father’s voci
tipn. As a printer. Mr, Jenness cover
1 ed much of the middle west and serv
I ed on newspapers with men who have
j since won nation-wide reputations. He .
married Miss Clara N. Bliss of Falls
. City, Nebraska, at St. Joseph, Mis- !
souri, December 26, 1882, and several
years later went to Nebraska to live. <
* As an ardent republican, he had sup
, ported McKinley in his contest with
Bryan and when in 1896 a vacancy oc
cured in the office of receiver of the
: office at O’Neill, Nebraska, President
McKinley appointed Mr. Jenness to
. that place.
I “He had previously served a term
[ ir. the Nebraska legislature. Mr. Jen
' ness remained in the land office until
5 1901 when he came to Oklahoma, go
f ing first to Chandler where he remain
: ed only a few months, the* coming to
’ Okmulgee. In 1902, Preident Roose
velt appointed him postmaster here
- and in 1903, Mr. Jenness established
, the Okmulgee Chieftain, a weekly pub
’ lication which was at one time one of
j the strongest republican organs in the
f state. In 1909 he resigned as post
B master and served as an assistant to
3 the county treasurer. In 1912, he
j was elected a city commissioner and
f has been twice re-elected. His present
, term would have expired next year.
“Besides his wife, Mr. Jenness leaves
two sons, R. E. Jenness, architect and
Tom N. Jenness, assistant cashier of
' the First National Bank. He leaves
three brothers in California none of
r whom twill be able to come for the
funeral. One of his sisters, Mrs. F.
M. Raiff of Los Angeles, California,
- will also be unable to attend the
- funeral. Another sister, Mrs. L. C.
s Parmenter of Muskogee came to Ok
- mulgee at once upon hearing of the
e commissioner’* death.”
