Home of John Jenkins and Annie Clarke
located
at about 200 East Main, a corner lot on the north side of the road
Newton, Utah
John Jenkins and Annie Clarke were married in 1873. Annie was
John's second wife in plural marriage.
This was the home John built for Annie, but the year it was built is
not known.
It is unlikely that it was built much before 1900 as that was about
the same time he built one identical to it
for his third wife, Maria, about 1/2 mile further east. The first
wife, Mary, had a rock home just south,
across the street from this one. The wives' first homes were
built of logs, with dirt floors and sod roofs.
Annie lived in this home until her death in 1920.
The house originally was a two-story spackled white home. The front part and a back section were added on by later generations.
