JENNINGS, DR. SOLOMON - West Milton--The last tribute of respect was paid to the late Dr. S. Jennings Thursday afternoon by friends and relatives who were present at the funeral rites of the deceased man, which were held from his late residence on Hays street.  The services were in charge of the local lodge of Masons, of which he was a charter member, and had been a member of that order for the past forty-one years.  Dr. Solomon Jennings was one of the oldest physicians in this county, having practiced medicine for fifty years.  He retained his office practice until the past few weeks, but had not been actively engaged for some years owing to his advanced age.  In former years he was one of the best and foremost men of his profession in this county, strenuously giving himself to the demands of a county populace.  The deceased man was highly educated and a brilliant conversationalist.  Dr. Jennings was born in Tuscarawas county, O., in 1833, and died November 1, 1910, at the age of 77 years.  He leaves one son, Dr. Gainor Jennings, one sister and two grandsons, Paxton and Ewing Jennings.  Rev. O. P. Furnas, Rev. Spybey and Rev. Enos Pemberton, esteemed friends of the deceased man, were present at the services.  Burial was made in Riverside cemetery by the side of his wife, who had preceded him to the grave five years ago.
