Obituary
New Lexington Tribune May 17, 1883 Vol. 12 No. 38
"The death of Mrs. Flowers, wife of Jackson Flowers, of the vicinity of New Lexington, on Wednesday last, was a very sad affair. Mrs. F. had been more or less deranged for many years, had at one time been an inmate of an asylum, but of late was supposed to be in an improved condition of mind.
On the day of her death, she put on her bonnet; walk out, and in a short time her daughter found her in the stable, dead. She had hung herself with a bridle rein, one end of which was clasped in her dead hands when she was found.
Mrs. F. was highly respected by all who knew her. She was a daughter of Thos. Rush, and a grand-daughter of Samuel Rush, one of the pioneers of this neighborhood. She left a large family, some of the children quite young.
The funeral was held at the Catholic Church, and the mortal remains of the wife and mother interned in New Lexington cemetery."
