James Collins Jennings was born April 8, 1910 in
Bracken County, Kentucky and died December 22, 1978 in Hardin County, Kentucky,
of lung cancer.
J.C. Jennings, Jim to his friends, worked as a
photographer for the Lexington Herald and the E’town News (later called The
Hardin County Enterprise, and later The News Enterprise). J. C. Jennings was
the official photographer for the Hardin County and Larue County Fairs (1964 to
1974).
Jim taught Ms Alberta how to take photographs and
how to develop them for the results that she wanted. I can’t help but feel that
the chemicals used in developing the photos is one of the causes and one of the
reasons that both Jim and Ms Alberta died of lung cancer. Then too we should
take into account that they both were heavy smokers. Jim smoked right up to his
death; but Ms Alberta quit cold turkey, after fifty nine years of smoking and
remained smoke free until her death.
