Wife of Grover C. Keighley; mother of Stephen W. and Elizabeth; daughter of Stephen Randall and Julia Maria (Phillips) Bucklin, Jr.; sister of Harold S. and Julian A.
Raised in a comfortable middle class family environment, Jennie attended Pawtucket Public Schools, completing the eighth grade. In contrast, and perhaps a commentary on the limited expectations for most women at the time, her brother Harold graduated from Brown University, earned advanced degrees, and subsequently became a tenured professor in that school's Sociology Department. Jennie's circumstances, however, meant she never had the need to work outside the home.
Jennie married Grover C. Keighley on June 22, 1918, in Pawtucket, R.I., the ceremony performed by the Rev. Frank Appleton, an Episcopal Minister. She and her husband moved to Wrentham, MA in 1919 after he gained employment as a machinist with Winter Brothers Taps and Dyes. A reserved and proper personality, she was an avid Boston Red Sox fan who followed their games on the radio and later on television, always keeping a scorecard during broadcasts.
Jennie, who had fallen to the floor and cried out for her husband Grover, died in his arms at their home on Bennett St., Wrentham. She is interred in the same lot in Wrentham Center Cemetery with her husband Grover, daughter Elizabeth, and son-in-law David L. Thompson.
