The Verden News
March 30, 1923

 
Miss Flotha Barnett died at the home of her mother, Mrs. Eliza Barnett, 
in the west part of the town at 10 o'clock Wednesday night after a 
lingering illness of several weeks. She was born in Indiana March 27, 
1903, and moved with her parents to Oklahoma some years later. Her 
parents having located in Verden, it was here she made her home and grew 
to young womanhood. About four weeks ago she was taken down with the flu 
and grew steadily worse until the end came. Everything that medical 
science and kind friends could do was done to restore her health, but He 
who rules the universe had decreed otherwise and she passed on leaving 
sad[ness] in our midst. Flotha was a good kindhearted girl, a faithful 
help to her mother, who is a widow with several small children to care 
for. In her own way she had formed a circle of friends whose love for 
her was manifested by the beautiful floral contributions. She leaves a 
mother, three sisters and one brother besides a large circle of friends 
and relatives to mourn her departure. Funeral services were held at the 
Baptist church and the services were conducted by the Rev. Chas. Mass, 
pastor of the Methodist church, after which her remains were layed to 
rest beside that of her father in our City cemetery. The attendance both 
at the church and cemetery were large and our entire city seemed to join 
in sorrow with those who were near and dear to her. The News extends 
sympathy to her loved ones in this sad hour.
