In my great-grandfather's scrapbook (mostly of obituaries) I find this one from the Flora, Indiana, local paper in 1925: "MRS DAVID GISH, HIGHLY RESPECTED LADY, SUCCUMBS. "Following a few weeks' illness Mrs David Gish, highly respected and well known lady, died at the family home east of the city Thursday night of last week of _aemia. Funeral services were held at 2:30 o'clock last Saturday afternoon at the residence, conducted by her pastor, Rev Frank G Coleman, pastor of the local First Brethren church. Interment was made in Maple Lawn Cemetery. "Rebecca Jane Flora, daughter of Miles and Malissa Myers Flora, was born October 22, 1865, at Bringhurst and was at her demise 60 years, 10 months, and 4 days of age. At the age of 7 her parents moved to the farm east of Flora, now owned by John Flora, where she spent her girlhood days. On January 9, 1887, she was united in marriage to David Gish and to this union were born three children, Roscoe of Bringhurst; Russell of Koro; and Mrs. Flossie Blue, who passed away November 15, 1914, leaving one son, Earl. She also leaves five other grandchildren and two brothers, Charley of near Camden, and Frank Flora, of Covington; and one half- brother, Medford Flora of this city. She professed her faith in Christ and united with the First Brethren church of Flora in 1914. She was a good Christian woman and a loving mother. She had the care of her three grandsons for a long time, their mother passing away when they were quite small. She was a faithful worker in her church and was kind and considerate with everyone. In her passing one of the saintly women of the community in which she lived, is no more and she will be greatly missed." Also on this page of the scrapbook: Esther Musselman, Mrs Wesley Eller, Martin Watts, and Mrs Esther Sink. **************Need a new ride?
