Obituary from THE ADAIR COUNTY NEWS, Wednesday 27 Feb 1901:

Obituary:  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-should be 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.        --R.F. WALKER
