Description

Jennie Boulding, a colored woman who has been identified with Parkville as long as our oldest residents can remember, died Saturday night. She is thought to have been over 90 years of age (born ~1910). She was brought to this county from Kentucky as a slave. She was well thought of by the white people and for 20 years back the best people of the town have remembered to send her a bountiful portion every Thanksgiving day.
