ALBERT H JERNIGAN Obituary
The announcement of the sudden death of Albert H. Jernigan at the Pensacola Sanitarium last Wednesday came as a shock to his hundreds of friends all over west Florida. Only a few days before he was in our office, apparently the very picture of vigorous manhood, and with every prospect of a long life. We had known him almost from boyhood, and admired his push and pluck and energy, and we mourn his loss as one of our best friends. The body was taken to Linden, Ind., for burial accompanied by his wife and Mr. Geo. Ward and his father.

The Breeze – August 31, 1911 – Page 4

Mrs. Helen Jernigan Birch who has been very ill for some time at the home of her sister, Mrs. George Ward, passed away early Monday morning, and was buried Tuesday in the village cemetery.

Sunday it was thought that the crisis had passed and that she would recovered, but a sudden change for the worse was observed that night, and early Monday morning her spirit took its flight. Mrs. Birch was the daughter of Henry Jernigan, of Portland, and had attended school here for several terms before her marriage, and was loved by all who knew her.
