Darlington -- Mrs. Ollie RHORER, one of the well known and highly respected citizens of this place passed away at her home here today noon after several weeks' illness. Some time ago Mrs. Rhorer suffered an attack of influenza from which she was not able to recover. The deceased was born in Putnam County more than 70 years ago. She is survived by her daughter, Mrs. Robert Lunch (Lynch?); a niece, Mrs. Beatrice Mullen and two nephews, Norman and Damon Thompson. Mrs. Rhorer was an active member of the South Christian Church. Funeral services will be held Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock from the Church of which she was a member with interment in the Darlington Cemetery

Note: This lady is quite a mystery. First of all, the Crawfordsville Daily Journal is dated 1928 but her tombstone is 1922. Not sure what her maiden name is but it would have to be either Thompson or Rhorer since Norman, Beatrice and Damon are her nephews and niece so imagine it is Thompson however I had Booher . -- See below for the final countdown -- heehee - kbz
