                                         Obituary, Adair County News, Feb. 27, 1901

​

     Mrs. Mary Keltner (nee Coffey) was born in Green county, Ky., on Dec. 14, 1815. At the age of 14 she       was married to John Keltner and removed to Adair county where she lived until her death, which           occurred on 15th day of Feb., 1901. Her husband was born in With [sic] [Wythe] county, Va., and at         the time of his death lacked only a few days of being 96 years of age.

     Mrs. Keltner was the mother of eleven children, five of whom died when they were quite small.  At         the time of her death she had 48 grandchildren, 147 great-grandchildren, and 12 great-great-                 grandchildren, making a total of 218, including her own children. "Aunt Polly," as she was familiarly       called, was a member of the M. E. Church South, and during her long and eventful life lived a                 consistent Christian. Her last years were spent at the home of her son, C. L. Keltner, who cared for       her as a loving son should. She was near 86 years old, and will be greatly missed.
