I am researching the family of Henry Lawrence Jinks, born Abt. 1862, Missouri and died March 15, 1951 El Dorado, Kansas. He was married to Olga Wahl (german from Russia) on October 24, 1908 in Mitchell, Rice County, Kansas. Olga was born on July 26, 1879 in Russia and died February 9, 1931 in ? (possibly Florence, Marion County, Kansas). According to the 1880 Census in Missouri, Henry's parents are listed as Francis M. Jinks and Sarah O. Dice. According to the 1900 Census in Cautauqua County, KS, Henry L. Jinks is married to a woman with the first name of Exadela, who was 10 years older than him and no children. Then in the 1910 Census he is listed with Olga and son, Emmanual Henry Jinks, age 1 and also Olga's 2 nieces, Bette and Olga Maille.
In the 1920 Rice County, Lyons, Kansas Census; it lists Henry, Olga and their children: E. Henry age 10, Joseph age 8, Pauline age 7, Wilbert age 6, Albert age 4, Dorothy age 2, and Esther age 1. In the 1930 Marion County, Kansas Census all kids were listed except Joseph and Pauline and one son was added, Paul who was age 6. Olga was also missing. Olga died of Cancer, so she could have been in a hospital at the time the Census was taken. The following are children of Henry L. & Olga Wahl Jinks:
