THE BLOOMFIELD NEWS, VOL. XLIV., NO. 6, Page 1, Column 2,
Bloomfield, Greene County, Indiana, Thursday, December 25,
1919, "AGED AND RESPECTED WOMAN PASSES AWAY."
Mariah, the second child of John and Leora MILLER, was born
March 13, 1829, in Lebanon county, Penn. She moved with her
parents when quite young to Wayne county, Ohio, and there grew
to womanhood and was married to Noah E. FLORY in August, 1847.
To this union were born thirteen children, six having preceded
the mother to the spirit world. She came with her family to
Greene county, Indiana, in 1853. She spent most of her life
near Tulip, in this county. The husband and father died
September 7, 1872. She lived at the old home until about four
years ago, and since then she has made her home with her
children. She was at the home of her son, Rev. Henry FLORY,
from which she could not recover. She was removed to the home
of her daughter, Mrs. Elza WATSON, where every attention and
care was bestowed upon her by her children and friends, but
she passed peacefully to rest, December 22, 1919, age ninety
years, nine months and nine days.
At about the age of eighteen she was converted and united with
the Church of God. She was a faithful active member, regular
in attending as long as her health permitted. When life seemed
almost gone she rallied, praising God, and calling her
children around her gave them good counsel, and even tried to
sing. All her life long, she was a woman of remarkable
strength, both physical and mental. She retained her mental
faculties till the last.
She leaves to mourn their loss seven children—three daughters,
Katherine QUAKENBUSH, of Vermillion , Kas.; Elizabeth STALCUP
and Susie WATSON, of Bloomfield; and four sons, Henry, the
minister, and Jacob, Samuel and Thomas, all of Bloomfield. All
these children were with her in her last illness except Mrs.
QUACKENBUSH, who was unable to attend. She had fifty
grandchildren, 101 great-grandchildren and seven
great-great-grandchildren—158 in all.
