| Weekly Arizona Miner (Prescott, Arizona) Saturday, September 12, 1868, p. 4 Death Of A Giantess--The Cleveland (Ohio) Herald says: The agent of Miss Kate Keathley (sic: Keithley), the Missouri giantess, was telegraphed at this city Wednesday morning to the effect that Miss K. died on Saturday last, at her home, about twenty-five miles from St. Louis. She had just returned from a trip to Omaha. Many people all over the country will remember Miss Keathley, probably the heaviest woman ever exhibited. She weighed 812 pounds. Her education was much better than is usually possessed by persons of her class, and she was able to converse intelligently and agreeably with her visitors. |
Note: These obituaries are transcribed as published and are submitted by volunteers who have no connection to the families. They do not write the obituaries and have no further information other than what is posted within the obituaries. We do not do personal research. For this you would have to find a volunteer who does this or hire a professional researcher.
