Obituary: VIRGIE TACKETT HAMILTON
As a new day dawned on January 4, 1984, the life of Virgie Tackett Hamilton quietly slipped away. Making her stay here on earth 94 years, 10 months, and 19 days. She was born in Pike County Kentucky on February 16, 1889, the daughter of the late James and Mary Ann Martin Tackett. She was married on December 1, 1904 to D. Emit Hamilton of Floyd County Kentucky. Unto this union were born eleven children, five of which preceded her in death. Her husband also preceded her in death on March 11, 1947, leaving six children, thirty grand children, forty-six great grandchildren, sixteen great great grandchildren and one sister, Gracie Little of Pikeville, Kentucky, to mourn her loss. Surviving children include three sons Noah Hamilton, Michigan City, Indiana, Foster Hamilton, Alexandria, Ohio, Elmer Hamilton, Kettering, Ohio; and three daughters, Stella Howell, New Carlisle, Ohio, Draxie H. Newsome, Ligon, Kentucky and Margie Parsons, McDowell, Kentucky with whom she made her home. Children preceding her in death include one daughter Maxie Hamilton, April 1, 1926, and four sons Arvil Hamilton, July 10, 1928, Alvis Hamilton, October 1, 1964, Ira Hamilton, January 25, 1980, and Charlie Hamilton, February 28, 1980. She had been a member of the Regular Baptist Church for 77 years actively attending for as long as she was physically able. Although she had been bedfast for most of the past 10 years, she never stopped begging the Lord to let her live just a little longer. Many, many nights she woke me singing, praying, or shouting. So many times she said she had no earthly treasures to leave but she a mansion when she died that gold and silver could never buy. Mom's suffering and lonely hours are over now. She is at rest forever with the Lord. We feel our loss here is Heaven's gain. Her body was laid to rest January 6, 1984, on the Lucy Hall Cemetery at McDowell, Kentucky.
