   Edwin B Jenkins, a prominent and successful broker of Pittsburgh, Penna,
   was born in Kingwood, West Virginia, September 16, 1868, and is the son
   of William M Jenkins and Elizabeth Gibson Jenkins. His education was
   acquired in the common schools of his native town. When he was twenty
   years of age he came to Pittsburg and went into business with his uncle,
   Marshall L Jenkins, in the oil trade. Edwin B Jenkins was elected a
   member of the oil exchange in the fall of 1889 and continued a member
   until the exchange went out of business. He then engaged in business as a
   broker of stocks and grain in Pittsburg under the firm name of E B
   Jenkins & Co in which he is at present. In November, 1892, the firm was
   incorporated with a capital stock of $100,000.
 
  On February 12, 1893, Mr Jenkins was married to A Lora Crumrine, daughter
   of Valentine Crumrine of Beallsville, Penna. To this marriage two
   daughters--Helen Jenkins and Gertrude Jenkins--have been born, both girls
   still in school. Mr Jenkins is a member of the Methodist Episcopal church
   of the East End, Pittsburg.
