• General Notes
  • Obituary - a Methodist newspaper, The Fairfield and Dew Circuit Rider,
    printed in 1924:
    
    "Mrs. Kissiah Huckaby, one of the oldest residents of Fairfield,
    passed away Wednesday night and was buried Thrusday in the Fairfield
    cemetery, a great crowd of relatives and friends being present.
    
    Aunt Kit as she was familiarly called was born in Alabama almost
    eighty seven years ago.  She moved with her parents, Mr. and Mrs.
    Bonner, to Texas in an early day, first settling near Steward's Mill
    but later moving to Fairfield where she married Arrcher Huckaby.  To
    this union was born one son, Billy Huckaby, who survives his mother.
    Her husband died a number of years ago but, true to his memory, she
    remained single to the end.  The last few years of her peaceful life
    here on earth were spent on an invalid bed, but she bore her
    afflictions with the spirit of one who said, "Though He slay me, yet I
    will trust in Him".   She was, for a long time, a member of the
    Presbyterian Church."
