The following is from the Amboy News.

Miss Florence Cross was born in Rutland, IL. January 8, 1864.  When a child
she came with her parents to Amboy, and has made this her home ever since. 
Her father, Rev. Charles Cross, was supply of the Amboy Baptist Church for
some time.  He and his wife died about nineteen years ago.  Mis Cross
became a memeber of the church in Amboy; and to the close of her life was
loyal and true to its interests.  
For some time her health had been failing and after a lingering illness,
which was borne with great patience and fortitude, she passed quietly and
peacefully to her rest, Saturday evening, August 24, 1912.
The sorrowing ones are her brother, Frank Cross of Amboy and her sister
Mrs. C. M. Allen of Pomona, CA and other relatives.  Those from a distance
at the funeral were Mrs. C.M. Allen, and Mr. E.L. Cross of Ackley, IA. and
George A Cross of Eldora, IA, nephews of the deceased.
The funeral services took place at her late home, north of Amboy, Tuesday
at 2:00 pm conducted by Robert Wallace, a former pastor of the Baptist
church.
