Mrs. Julia Perkins Will Observe 90th Birthday

Mrs. Julia Perkins, who came to Findlay with her family in the early days of the Oil and gas boom...

Mrs. Perkins was born on a farm in Crawford County, eight miles north of Shelby which, after 95 years, is still in the family. Her parents were Mary (Blackman) and William Faulkner.

As their nine children grew older the parents, desiring an education for them, decided to move to Delaware so that the older ones might enter Ohio Wesleyan University. The father remained on the farm.

Among the possessions they took with them were two cows to provide them with milk through the winter. The oldest son, John walked the distance from the farm home to Delaware, leading the cows. When they returned in the spring it was the task of the youngest boy, George, who later lived in Findlay for many years, to lead the cows back. He was met halfway by his father in a spring wagon, Mrs. Perkins recalls.

The following year the family, interested in Findlay's boom, decided to move here. One of the older children enrolled in Findlay College and Mrs. Perkins had entered Wolfington College, a business school operating here at that time. She took theory, practice and penmanship from a Prof Minnich and violin instruction at Findlay College under Prof. E. C. McElhaney.

Mrs. Perkins' husband, William...

After that, until recent years she spent most of her winters either in California or Florida and in 1930 travelled in Europe with her niece, Miss Mary Faulkner.

There are only four of the nine children still living. Mrs. Perkins is the oldest. Her two sisters, Mrs. Etta Crum of Shelby and Mrs. Nellie Baird of Mansfield have been invited to a birthday dinner which Mrs. Perkins' sister-in-law Mrs. George Faulkner and her two daughter, Mary and Ruth, are planning to have Sunday in their home, 1209 N. Main St.
