"It is a pleasure to write of a self-made, honorable business man like Orville Augustus Jenkins, who first saw the light of day October 1, 1843, in the old seaport town of Portsmouth. Of his parentage he is justly proud. His father, Augustus Jenkins, was a very prominent man, and a member of the New Hampshire legislature several terms. He was an old-time Democrat and collector of the port of Portsmouth under the administration of Presidents Polk and Buchanan. His mother, Frances (Webster) Jenkins, was a relative of Daniel Webster, and a woman of rare worth. Mr. Jenkins was graduated from the Portsmouth High School in 1859, and immediately engaged in the hat and fur business in the employ of William O. Head of Market street Portsmouth.
"He came to Boston in 1863 and associated himself in business with George N. Bigelow, under the American House, on Hanover street. In 1883 he entered into equal partnership with Mr. Bigelow, at 407 Washington street, where he is at present located. Upon the death of his partner, in 1888, he bought out the widow's interest, and has since continued the business, under the name of O. A. Jenkins & Co.
"Mr Jenkins is very happily married and has two charming young daughters. He has been an Odd Fellow since 1869, and in 1883, he joined the Masonic fraternity, as a member of Soley Lodge, Somerville, Mass. He is a pronounced Democrat, a wide-awake citizen, and one of Boston's most reliable and honored merchants. His establishment is well kept, his clerks proverbially polite, and, in a word, he enjoys the confidence of all who know him."
