Hoosier Democrat, Flora, Ind, January 1904
DEATH OF MRS. J. L. CUNNINGHAM

Expired of heart Failure on Friday afternoon.  Great loss to community.
Found lying on the floor by little adopted son.  Prominent in church and society
circles.

    Sarah Emma FLORA was born in Miami county, Indiana, August 11, 1864, and was
suddenly called to her eternal reward from her home on South Center Street
January 22, 1904.  All the days of her pilgrimage were 39 years, 7 months and 11
days.  She was married to Jacob L. CUNNINGHAM 1885. To this union was given a
son, stillborn, on  March 22, 1908. She united with the Brethren church in 1883
 in Miami county and remained  true to her Christian profession to the end. She
was in apparently good health at 3 o'clock and when their little adopted son
Leslie, came from school an hour and a half later she was cold in death. Drs.
Callane and Lyons were hastily summoned, but all efforts to resuscitate her were
futile. The coroner's verdict was heart failure.

     She leaves to mourn her untimely death a devoted husband, an adopted son
Leslie, an aged father, five brothers: Levi, David, Merritt, Area, and Jacob
FLORA: Two sisters, Rosanna DONALDSON of Missouri and Lizzie MILLER of Mexico,
Indiana. All were present except the father and the sister from Missouri. 
Numerous other relatives and friends were present at the funeral and the large
house was filled to the annexes. 

     She had a premonition years ago that her departure from this earth would be
sudden and yet no one was ready for the sad news. Funeral services were
conducted by Elder A. G. Crosswhite Sunday at 10:30 a.m. after which the body
was laid to rest in Maple lawn cemetery.

Additional Comments:
Her parents were Noah FLORA and Anna FOUTS.  The Miami co FLORA family came from
Virginia later than the Carroll co group; possibly related in some way.
