She was totally blind, we are told, almost inarticulate in speech, and very feeble, having been confined to her room for the past seven years. She passed from the burden of years into rest last Saturday night. Her son, "Uncle Louis," as he is known and who has also reached the age of eighty years, is not expected to survive his mother many days." Fort Gaines Sentinel 24 June 1904 Garnersville Items by "Stella" "Grannie Flowers is dead, she died last Wednesday, the eighth, at the ripe old age of one hundred and one years and one month. She was buried Thursday afternoon, in the cemetery at Cotton Hill. The bereaved ones have our heartfelt sympathy."
