MRS. JOHN KINGERY PASSES AWAY AFTER USEFUL LIFE
 
    The life of another saintly mother, a pioneer of early days in Monroe
township, went back to its maker about five o'clock Wednesday evening when Mrs.
John KINGERY, one of the aged and highly respected ladies of the city, closed
her eyes in eternal sleep at the family residence in South Willow street.  Death
was due to heart trouble and paralysis.  About two months ago she commenced
failing and since then her decline had been steady, although she had been able
to be up and about the house, able to perform her usual household work until
within a couple of days of her going.  The funeral services were held yesterday
(Friday) morning at 10 o'clock at the Old Order church on East Columbia street,
Elder John FLORA officiating.  Interment was made in the Moss cemetery.
     Lydia KINGERY, one of twelve children of Jacob and Mahala FLORA, was born
on November 18, 1838 on the old Flora homestead just east of Bringhurst, now
owned by J. B. Morris.   Here her early life was spent and she grew to
womanhood.  Sixty-one years ago she was united in marriage to John KINGERY. To
them seven children were born, five surviving as follows:  Jacob KINGERY of west
of Bringhurst; Joe KINGERY of Bringhurst; Mrs. John CRIPE and Mrs. William
BOWERMAN of this city; and Mrs. Eli BRUBAKER of Mishawaka.  She also leaves one
brother, Joseph FLORA  residing on East Main street and three sisters, Mrs.
Lewis HARTER, Mrs. Elizabeth HARTER and Mrs Richard JORDAN, all of Flora.  She
had been a resident of the Flora and Bringhurst vicinities for 80 of her 81
years, the one year being when she and her husband moved to Iowa soon after
their marriage. Since girlhood she had been a member of the Old Order church.
