Myers - Lora Ethel
Source: Crawfordsville Daily Journal Tuesday, 28 November 1893
Lora Ethel Myers, daughter of Rufus and Minnie Myers, was born May 1, 1888, and died Nov. 6, 1893, after two weeks suffering from scarlet fever. She quietly passed away, remaining conscious to the last. Thus it pleased God in His goodness to take another little flower from this earth. She began her school days last October 18th, at Maple Grove, district No. 3, Clark Township, where she is sadly missed by both teacher and pupils. Her sweet little voice will never more be heard to mingle with her classmates. Never again will she respond to the call of her teacher for recitations. While she is so sadly missed at school, her loss is most keenly felt in the family circle. Her little voice will never again unite with little brothers and sisters in their earthly joys. Those little hands will never more smooth little brother’s hair, but will reach to the angels of heaven. Those little shoes are tenderly laid away and garments folded from sight to be replaced by the robe of angels. Kind father and mother, brother and sister, do not weep for Lora for she has gone to Him who said, “Suffer little children to come unto me.” She is in Heaven. Ever remember the promise, “They that mourn shall be comforted.” Prepare to meet your darling in that brighter and better land.

The seven year old daughter
of Rufus Myers died Monday of
scarlet fever and was buried Tuesday.
Note: She is buried in Ladoga Cemetery, her stone matching her parnets -- Born 1 May 1887 Died 6 Nov 1893 - note her age "7" does not match the 1887 date (age 6) nor the 1888 date but her death does indeed seem correct all the way around
