    1. [BRE] obituary Sarah Isabel FLORA Ewing (1921)
    2. another from the scrapbook of newspaper clippings taken from the Flora, Indiana, Hoosier Democrat: "MRS SCOTT EWING, PROMINENT LADY OF CITY, PASSES AWAY. "Mrs. Scott Ewing, a resident of Flora the past several years and one of the well known ladies of the city, died at the family home on South Center street Monday afternoon, the immediate cause of her demise being hemorrhage of the brain. Her illness started with 'shingles' about six weeks ago. For about the past two weeks she had been bedfast. "Sarah Isabel Ewing, daughter of Daniel and Elizabeth Flora, was born in western Howard county, Indiana, March 17, 1853; departed this life August 8, 1921, aged 68 years 4 months and 21 days. "She was united in marriage with W S Ewing January 23, 1872, in Howard county, Indiana. This union was blessed with three children, all of whom with the devoted husband survive. They are Mrs. Lova Clingenpeel and Mrs Lula Moss, of this city, and Lon R., of Howard county. There are five living grandchildren and one who has passed away to the Great Beyond. There is also one great-grandchild, Margaret May Albaugh. Besides those mentioned there are two brothers, Elder John W Flora, of Howard county, and Howard L of Chili, Indiana, and one sister, Mrs. Joseph L Fisher, of Howard county. One brother and two sisters preceded her to the Spirit World. "Sister Ewing was a consistent, conscientious Christian woman, possessed of many virtues and was truly a 'mother in Israel.' She, with her companion united with the Church of the Brethren in the Bachelor Run church under the preaching of Elder Rosenberger in the year 1885 and remained faithful until her translation to her Heavenly home. Had she lived until next January they would have celebrated their Golden wedding, the Lord sparing the husband also. A happier couple and a more loving family would be hard to find. She will be missed in the home, in the church and especially in the Sisters' Aid Society and as a neighbor and friend, but our loss is her eternal gain. At her request her former pastor, A G Crosswhite, of Peru, assisted by her present pastor, I R Beery, of this city, anointed her with oil in the name of the Lord, according to James 5:14-15 to her great comfort and joy. "The funeral services were conducted from the Church of the Brethren on South Center street, near her home, Wednesday afternoon at two o'clock by Revs. Crosswhite and Beery. Interment was made in Maple Lawn cemetery." **************Need a new ride? Check out the largest site for U.S. used car listings at AOL Autos. (http://autos.aol.com/used?NCID=aolcmp00300000002851)
