From the Ticonderoga Sentinel:
THURSDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1891.

John L. Jenkins has bought out Charles Fish's interest in the stage route between this village and Hague, and will run daily, leaving Hague at 9 a. m., and Ticonderoga at 3 p. m. Charlie has long been a familiar figure on the road and will be missed, but the route could not have fallen into better hands, for John is around attending to business all the time.

From the Ticonderoga Sentinel:
THURSDAY, MAY 12, 1910

Mr. and Mrs. Grant Sturtevant and son Stanley have gone to Hague for the summer; Mr. Sturtevant having leased the John Jenkins' meat market which he opens this week.

From the Ticonderoga Sentinel:
THURSDAY, MAY 22, 1913

All credit is due Town Superintendent John Jenkins for his excellent work on the roads between here and Hague, also on the Horicon roads. The roads in question were in bad condition and it is indeed pleasing to note the excellent job Mr. Jenkins has had done, which goes to show that be fully understands road work.
