    2. >From Great-Grandpa's scrapbook, a clipping dated July 3, 1923, from the Flora, Indiana, newspaper: "MRS DANIEL STINEBAUGH, PROMINENT FLORA LADY, DIES "Malissa, daughter of James W and Martha Stonebraker, was born in Carroll county, Indiana, June 8th, 1850, and died at her home on South Center street, Flora, Indiana, Wednesday morning at the advanced age of 72 years, 7 months and 23 days. She grew to womanhood and married Daniel Stinebaugh, also of Carroll county, on March 1st, 1869. They were continuous residents of Carroll county all their married life except one year in Howard county, living in Clay township until 1892, when they moved to what was called Pikes Peak and from there in 1900 to their home on South Center street, in Flora. "Eight children, three sons and five daughters, were born to them while living in Clay township, four of whom died in infancy and are buried in the Pyrmont cemetery. Together they were baptized into the Church of the Brethren at Pyrmont in June, 1872 and had kept the faith and worshiped with them for more than fifty years. Mrs Stinebaugh enjoyed good health until they had celebrated their Golden Wedding Anniversary, March 1st, 1919, soon after which her health failed and she had been an invalid for more than a year. Sunday, January 28th she became overbalanced and fell to the kitchen floor, causing injuries which hastened her departure. She was a patient sufferer and having lived a devout Christian life and receiving the anointing according to James 5:14, was ready and awaiting the call of the Heavenly Home. "She is survived by the husband, two sons, Gilbert and Jerome, and two daughters, Mrs Henry Garrison and Mrs Frank Replogle, all of this vicinity; twelve grandchildren and three great- grandchildren; one sister, Mrs Julia Overholser, who has been caring for her, and two half brothers, P W Stonebraker of Burlington, and Noah Stonebraker of Wheatfield, and other relatives and friends. "Funeral services were held yesterday (Friday) at 10 o'clock at the Church of the Brethren, by Elders H C Early and Riley Montgomery. Interment in Maple Lawn cemetery." **************Need a new ride?
