| Notes |
Anna Randolph was born in Roane county May 1, 1846 and departed this life February 26, 1932, age 85 years, 9 months and 26 days. At the age of sixteen years she was united in marriage with Christopher S Randolph of Roane county who preceded her to the realms of the soul five years ago, To this union were born ten children, four of whom preceded her iin death. Those surviving her are W.R. Randolph, C.W. Randolph and Jane Harmon of Advent, WVa; Mrs Cora Wolfe and Mrs Margaret Carpenter, Roane County and Everette Randolph of Charleston, WVa.
Early in life she and her husband moved to Jackson County near Advent where they reseided until the Master called them to the sweet realms fo the soul. At the age of thirty she confessed Christ as her personal Savior and joined the ME Church. She lived an humble, obedient life to God until death called her away. All her life she was known to us as a loving mother, always ready to lend a helping hand to all mankind. Although her body wear and worn, her faith in God grew brighter as life ebbed away. She often expressed her desire to meet her companion and loved ones who had gone before.
A light from our midst is gone and a chair in our homoe is vacant and a voice is still that spoke so kindly.
"Sunset and an evening star and one clear call for me.
May there be no moaning at the bar when I put out to sea"
Besides her children she is survived by one brother, G.W. Gandee of Vicars, WVa and one sister, Jane Burdette of Gandeeville, WVa, and a host of grandchildren and friends whom she leaves to mourn her loss. May God bless you all in this time of sorrow and help you one and all prepare to meet her in the realms of love.
In a house by the side of the road where mother used to dwell
But now 'tis so sad and vacant since the spirit of mother has fled.

George & Mary
Both buried Kiser memorial Cemetery, near Kentuck, Jackson co, WV
Chris and Anna lived in a log cabin on Second Creek of Middle Fork of Pocataligo River, Jackson Co., WV. I have a photograph of the log cabin that I took in 1985. Chris's great-grandson, Ronald Randolph, was living in the cabin at that time. The land and cabin was purchased by the State of West Va and the cabin was burned by the State of West Virginia in 1987. The cabin was burned during the clearing procedures when construction of the watershed dam on Middle Fork started in 1986. My mother, Ola (Kiser) Kessel, and my grandmother, Lydia Ann (Siders) Kiser dressed "Aunt Annie" when she died. My grandfather, Joseph Floyd Kiser, helped make the casket and Mother and grandmother Lydia made the lining and pillow for the casket. (Ref: Betty Kessel McIntyre).
Chris served in the 7th WVa Cav Co B, Civil War
