珍妮特·邦尼·金
珍妮特·邦尼·金 was born in Madison County, the ninth of eleven children. When she was in the fifth grade at Waco Elementary School, Mr. Tom Bonny was the band leader and brought seven little Bonnys to march in the band to dedicate the new Irvine bridge. This was the first time she became acquainted with Estill County. She played the clarinet, which was almost as long as she was tall. 年后, she attended the dedication of the Joseph Proctor Memorial Bridge with her daughter and grandchildren.
珍妮特10岁的时候, her 19 year old brother was killed when he fell off a bridge in western Kentucky where he was working for his Uncle Tom Clouse during its construction. 同年, the US government told her father their property at Moberly was needed for the new location of the Bluegrass Army Depot and he would have to move his family. Her world was turned upside down, not knowing what the rest of her life would hold. In 1943, the family moved to Ravenna where her Dad worked as a foreman at the L&N铁路站场.
Although Jeanette attended most of her high school years in Wisconsin, 还有她的双胞胎兄弟, 基因, at the Metropolitan Church School Association High School, 她大二的时候去了欧文高中, and still enjoys attending their yearly reunion and visiting with friends she made then. 在威斯康辛, she studied the stars and learned that “the darker the night, 它们就越亮。”. She also remembers seeing the Northern Lights which could be seen very clearly there and how beautiful they were. She still feels that ”Morning is a miracle that happens every day.”
After returning to Estill County after high school, Jeanette became a telephone operator (before dial phones in Estill County when they used switchboards and you picked up the phone and asked to speak to whomever you wanted to call and they “plugged you in”). She worked as a telephone operator from 1948 until dial phones were introduced in 1959-1960.
随着她生活的继续, 她嫁给了约瑟夫·莫里斯·金, an Estill County boy (who is also an Estill County 荣誉堂 recipient), 她有了自己的家庭. She believed things were so good, that it was the best anyone could wish for. She had “three little Kings”, which brought the family size to five. 珍妮特是三个孩子的好妈妈, 了不起的八个孩子的祖母, 还是一个孩子的曾祖母.
她和丈夫约瑟夫. King, she was the owner/operator of Jen’s Fabric and Singer Sewing Machine Shop, 1967-1984. 穿过布料店, she cooperated with the 首页 Economics teachers at Irvine High School, Estill County Middle School and Estill County High School to supply patterns, 班级缝纫项目的布料和概念. 珍妮特随丈夫到处旅行, 莫里斯, to nuclear test sites across the US and Canada and remains an honorary member of the Bluegrass Chapter of the Health Physics Society.
She supplied transportation to and from Onieda Academy and Asbury College for eight years for Christina Dlamini, 她姐姐从南非收养的孩子.
当她的孩子还小的时候, she was involved as a lay leader with Methodist Youth Fellowship at Irvine United Methodist Church (1960s). 在20世纪90年代, she served as an adult lay leader of the Irvine United Methodist church and attended the Annual Conference for several years. 她还在教堂唱诗班唱了很多年. She still remains a loyal member of the Irvine United Methodist Church, and the O.P. Smith Sunday School Class, today as she arrives early on Sundays to meet and greet the congregation.
