LINCOLN COUNTY, KENTUCKY MARRIAGES
Amanda Walker married Robert H. Givens
3 November 1828
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
SEMI-WEEKLY INTERIOR JOURNAL, STANFORD, KY., TUESDAY, JUNE 12, 1888
Page 3
Mrs. Amanda Walker Givens, widow of the late Squire Robert H. Givens, who preceded her to the tomb eight years, died at her home in this county Saturday night, at the ripe old age of 82. She was the oldest member of the Hustonville Presbyterian church and a good and true woman in every respect. Six children survive her - Mrs. W. F. McKinney, J. A. and R. H. Givens, Mrs. Edward Alcorn and Misses Belle and Lettie Givens, and although they were blessed with the love of a tender mother many years in excess of the time usually allotted to children, they yet give her up with reluctance, though fully aware that she is better off in a land that is fairer than day. The funeral discourse was preached by Rev. J. A. Bogle, for long years her pastor, and then a lengthy procession of friends followed the remains to Buffalo Springs Cemetery, where they were gently laid by the side of those of her husband.
