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 Archer 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."
