  Obituary- Kirby, Caroline Caroline Elizabeth, daughter of Nicholas and Polly Mallory, was born February 22, 1842, in Carrol county, Virginia. She was united in marriage to Samuel J. Kirby, in 1860 and to this union ten children were born. The Kirby family moved from Virginia in 1881, and settled near Topeka, Kans., where they resided until the opening of the Cherokee Strip, when Mrs. Kirby staked and homesteaded a farm on Sept. 16, 1893, about 6 miles southwest of Lamont, and moved his family to this home in March 1894. Mrs. Kirby lived on this farm until about 5 years ago. She then made her home for about 2 1/2 years with her daughter, Mrs. Minnie Dolan and her son Guy Kirby. She then moved to Gentry, Ark., to the home of her daughter, Mrs. Frank Howerton, where she passed away April 28, 1936. Her age was 94 years, 2 months and 6 days. The surviving relatives are four sons, Ed, John, Guy and Troy all of Lamont. Four daughters, Mrs. Alice Lemon, of Rossville, Mrs. Laura DeGraff, of Shawnee, Oklahoma; Mrs. Fannie Howerton, of Gentry, Arkansas; Mrs. Minnie Dolan of Lamont. One sister, Mrs. Julia Mallory, of Siloam Springs, Arkansas; 29 grandchildren; 39 great grandchildren; 2 great great-grandchildren. One daughter died in infancy and another daughter, Mrs. Lavora Hardwick, passed away on March 1, 1932. The husband departed this life in October, 1915. Mrs. Kirby confessed her Lord and was baptized in July 1918, by Rev. Don Smith and placed her membership with the Lamont Christian church. She was one of those motherly souls who endeared herself to her sons-in-law and daughters-in-law, who loved her as their own mother. It can be truly said of her, her children and her children's children call her blessed. Two of the greatest words in the English language can be used to describe her -- Christian and Mother. She ever sought to do the Master's Will, and any eulogy that we might voice will fall into silence before the mighty testimony of her life. --The Valley News, Lamont, Oklahoma ************ Mrs. Charles Lemon left Wednesday for Lamont, Okla., called by the death of her aged mother, Mrs. S.J. Kirby. She passed away Tuesday evening, at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Fannie Howerton in Arkansas, at the age of 94. Mrs. C.G. Lemon returned home today from Lamont, Okla., where she was called last week by the death of her mother, Mrs. S.J. Kirby.
