Clements - Flora Spaulding
Source: Crawfordsville Weekly Journal Friday, 20 September 1901
Again God in His infinite wisdom has seen fit to take from this world of sorrow and suffering one who was very dear to us. Our loving mother has gone and left us very sad and lonely.
Flora F. Spaulding was born in Frankfort, Clinton County, Ind., Oct. 15, 1861, and departed this life Sept. 6, 1901, aged 39 years, 10 months and 21 days.
She was married to James Clements Nov. 1, 1883. To this union was born three daughters, Henrietta, Jennie M. and Hazel Fern. She with her husband united with the Brown’s Valley Baptist Church under the labors of Rev. P. H. Faulk in the year ’93 and ’94. She has lived a devoted Christian life for the past fifteen years. Sister Clements has been greatly afflicted, especially the last six years. She bore her affliction patiently and with that Christian fortitude that is a Christian of a true child of God. We feel assured that our loss is her eternal gain.
The pall bearers were John Gilliland, Sant Moody, Jim Moody, Sam Grimes, Chas. Spaulding, her nephew, and Silas Spaulding, her brother. The singers were Lillian Allen, Chas. Williams, Shelby Hicks, Blanche Service and Nannie Canine. The funeral was conducted at the house by Rev. Liston of this place. Interment was at Indian Creek Cemetery. -s
