C. Jennings, M. D., is a faithful laborer in the cause and advancement of the science of medicine, and is recognized as such by his fellow-men. He is a native of Hempstead County, Ark., born in 1857, and in his early days received an excellent literary education, being a graduate of St. John’s College of Little Rock. He began his medical studies in the University of Louisiana at New Orleans, graduating in 1883, and afterward entered Charity Hospital of that city as a resident student, having the advantages of that institution for two years during his medical course. From this he also graduated in 1883. Returning to his home in Little Rock, by sterling worth and skill, he became quickly recognized by the people of Little Rock as a leading member of the medical fraternity, and in the few years of his residence here has built up a practice which he only expected to secure after years of arduous labor. He belongs to the Pulaski County Medical Society, also the State Medical Society, and in his religious views is a member of the Episcopal Church. His wife, whose maiden name was Jean M. Venor, was born in Tennessee, and by Dr. Jennings is the mother of one child: Edwin R. The Doctor is a son of Orville and Julia P. (Black) Jennings.
