Obituary written by C. H. Kiracofe (from as xerox copy of a published
clipping preserved in a collection entitled "Memories of J. W.
Kiracofe".)
Mary Kiracofe, commonly known as "Polly" Kiracofe, was born in Augusta
County, VA., December 22nd, 1815, and died at Salem, Roanoke County,
VA., March 29th, 1891, aged 75 years, 3 months, and 7 days.
Her maiden name was Showalter. At about the age of twenty-one she was
married to John Kiracofe, who died about seven years ago. She was the
mother of twelve children, nine of whom--eight sons and one
daughter--are still living. Six of the eight sons living, are
ministers of the Gospel--three in each branch of the United Brethren
Church. She was a woman of remarkable powers of endurance and
industry. She performed, almost unaided, not only the ordinary home
work in a large family, but, until her sons were young men, she spun,
wove, cut and made nearly all their clothing. For a period of sixty
years she lived a quiet, unassuming Christian, and a consistent member
of the Methodist Church. When death came, it found her, in her own
words, 'ready and waiting." Her body was taken back to the old home,
near Stribling Springs, Va., which she had left only a few months
before, and there in the old Oak Hill Graveyard, on the 2nd day of
April, attended by her daughter and seven sons, called together from
Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Illinois, and a large crowd
of other relatives and friends, it was quietly laid by the side of the
sleeping dust of her husband, and the children returned sadly to the
old home for a few hours, and then departed, probably not to meet thus
again on earth.
Marriage:
[Marriage Bond dated 25 Sep 1837, with bondsmen Henry Kiracofe
(Carricoff) and Jacob Showalter].
