Partial obituary (unknown source)
"CHRISTIANN, daughter of Samuel and Susannah Nimrick Kiger, was born February 16, 1824, in Xenia, Ohio, and passed away in her old home, May 1, 1925, at the age of one-hundred-and-one years, two months and fifteen days.
At the age of four years her parents moved to Adams Township, then to Chester Township, Clinton County, where the rest of her life was spent.
At the age of seventeen she became a member of the Baptist Church.
On March 31, 1842, she was married to Joseph Finch, who died May 15, 1873. To this union were born two children, N. S. and Louisa, afterward Mrs. Disbro. N. S. the son, died in the service of his country in 1864, at the age of twenty-one years, ten months and eight days."
Note: There is a marriage record in Warren Co. Ohio [31 Mar 1842] that has been transcribed as the marriage of Christena Keiger and Joseph French.
Note: N. S. Finch is most likely Nathaniel S. A. Finch who served in the 34th Ohio Infantry. The "History of Clinton County, Ohio" gives the following mention: "Enos Finch enlisted in his country's service and died a martyr to the cause of freedom." Enos Finch is how he appears in the 1870 census.
