Mrs. Flaugher became ill last Friday night and by Saturday afternoon her illness was so acute that she did not recognize anyone. Her illness was thought to have been intestinal flu. She was born in Miller County April 14, 1865, and had she lived until next April would have been 80 years of age. At about the age of 23 she was united in marriage to James Flaugher and to this union seven children were born, two of whom Mrs. Manley Renfrow, who died in 1936, and Everett, who died in infancy, preceded her in death. Her husband passed away July 28, 1930. Surviving Mrs. Flaugher are five children, Mrs. Rector Wilson of the Wilson School community, Willie Flaugher of Kansas City, Kansas, Mrs. Alva Rook of Iberia, Elmer and Charlie Flaugher of Tuscumbia; 26 grandchildren and 20 great-grandchildren; many other relatives and a great host of friends. In early girlhood Mrs. Flaugher united with the Mt. Zion Church and during the last several years had been a faithful attendant at the Assembly of God Church at Tuscumbia. Mrs. Flaugher was very sincere in her Christian belief and was a regular attendant at church services. She rarely missed a service at the Assembly of God Church and even at her advanced age walked the distance from her home to the church in order to attend. In spite of her advanced years Mrs. Flaugher had enjoyed very good health and was very active in mind and body. She was a familiar figure at Tuscumbia and will be missed by her loved ones and friends. She was a good wife, mother and neighbor. She was a lover of flowers and made a collection of seeds from the flower beds of neighbors to plant in flower beds at her own home. The beautiful floral wreath presented by her neighbors attested to the esteem in which "Aunt Mary" was held. Funeral services were held at the Tuscumbia Assembly of God Church Wednesday afternoon of this week at 2 O'clock. Interment was in the Tuscumbia Cemetery under direction of Kays Funeral Home of Eldon.
