Julie McKinney, believed to be the region’s oldest resident, died Sunday morning at the age of 108.
McKinney, who would lay grass on soggy trails so her family’s covered wagon could travel faster, was an energetic sort. She was born before New Mexico became a state…

While McKinney had lived in Clovis nearly 30 years, she was born in Pender, Neb., in 1895, and moved with her parents to Texas about 10 years later, her daughter said. “They lived there in Texas until she was 14 and then they moved to Milnesand, New Mexico, and homesteaded there,” Fielden said. “My grandfather built a store there and they lived there for seven or eight years and that’s where mother met my father; he was a cowboy there.”…

Fielden said her mother loved to tell stories about coming to New Mexico in a covered wagon. In 1916, Julie married Charles McKinney and moved with him to Colorado to work on the railroad line. The couple later returned to Milnesand where they homesteaded until 1926, when they moved to Roswell, living there until 1973 when Charles McKinney died…

Fielden said her mother spent her life as a homemaker and helped her husband in the rental property business, which they began during World War II building and operating rental property for personnel assigned to what became Walker Air Force Base.
