In 1841 he married Mary Firman at St. Clair, Ohio who died some years ago. In 1893 he moved to Waveland with his daughter. Mr. Jennings served with credit during the war of the Rebellion, and was a good citizen, honest in all his dealings.

Edward Jennings of near Bowers Station stood in the Mayor's court this week stolidly looking over his gold-timmed spectacles at the exponent of the law who sat at the desk. He is an old man, with white hair and long gray whiskers and resembling a substantial farmer. "Mr. Jennings, you are charged with intoxication in a public place.'
"Well, I reckon I did have a little too much," was the response, "but this is the first time I was ever took up. I feel might bad over it, too, as I never calculate to do any harm. I reckon I did have too much but I'll never do it again," and the poor old man mopped his forehead with nervous haste. He was fined $11.30 and although he had over $20 on his person he had his fine stayed as he had to expend his ready money on other things. He came in to get his pension money and meeting with some of the boys they drank from the same canteen a few times too often.
