Cynthiana Democrat Thurs 16 Mar 1911 Vol. 43 No. 25 Pg. 6 Col. 1 Lived almost 102 years Mrs. Mahulda Whaley's unexpected death occurred last Sunday [Robertson Advance] Aunt Huldah Whaley, Robertson County's oldest and widest known citizen, who if lived to May 21 would have been 102 years old. Mrs. Whaley was up to almost the very hour of her death in her ordinary robust health. Only last week we recorded a visit she had made to her daughter, Mrs. Larry Burns. She had risen on Sunday morning, as usual, and had competed dressing excepting perhaps the fastening of her apron by her granddaughter, when she gently fell into the latter's arms and peacefully breathed her last. A sketch of her life taken from a History of Kentucky published in 1888 give the following facts in regard to her family history: "Mrs. Mahulda Whaley (nee Kenton) was born in Nicholas County, KY in 1809. Her father was William Kenton, a farmer of Nicholas county and in 1812 a soldier under Gen. Collier. The mother of Mrs. Whaley was before her marriage a Miss Jane Burden, of Kentucky. The paternal grand-father of Mrs. Whaley was Simon Kenton, of Virginia, who came to Kentucky in his early days and settled in Nicholas County and followed farming. Miss Mahulda Kenton was married in 1830 to Hiram Whaley, a farmer of Mason county, who died in 1870, the father of the following named children: James, Elizabeth, John T., Martha T., Mary A., Lloyd, Hiram O. and Josephine." The funeral services were conducted at Kentontown Wednesday afternoon. She was buried in Kentontown cemetery.
