Obituary of Mrs. Lou Anna Amburgey of
Clearfield, Kentucky, the widow of Elijah Amburgey, was born in Letcher County,
Kentucky. She was married to Elijah Amburgey and this union was blessed with
twelve children, eight boys and four girls. Four children, three boys, Alex,
William and Rochambeau and one girl Elizabeth and also her husband Elijah
Amburgey preceded her in death leaving five boys, John, Thomas, Jasper, Elijah
and Robert Amburgey and three girls: Mrs. Mary Messer, Mrs. Annie Scott and Miss
Tishie Amburgey to mourn her death.
Mrs. Louanna (Stewart) Amburgey,
well known as Aunt Lou Anne, departed this life, 8 February 1921. She was of a
noted family and the last one living of ten brothers and sisters. Her
grandfather, Alexander Stewart, came from Scotland.
To know her was to love her. She would ride many miles to lend a helping hand to
the sick and afflicted or to speak words of comfort to someone in distress. Aunt
Lou Anne is sadly missed by her relatives and many friends, yet we know our loss
is great gain. All who knew her appreciated her noble, pure, Christian life. She
was a consistent member of the Regular Baptist Church for the past fifty-two
years and no member was more devoted to its teachings. She was baptized into the
fellowship of the Dry Fork Church of Christy Creek, May the fourth, 1869, by
Elder James Stewart, her brother where she lived a faithful member until her
death. She was a constitutional member of the Dry Fork Church and the last one
of the constitutional members still living. She died in the same faith at the
age of seventy-eight years
