      Obituary:

      Flora Jane Norton was born in Mohaska County, Iowa near the town of Oskaloose, on June 8, 1855 being 73 years, 10 months and 4 days of age at her death, April 12 1929. She was united in marriage to William Riley Phenis, near Madison, Kan., on July 3, 1873 and to this union six children were born, three having preceded her in their infancy to that better world. The other three being Mrs. Ethel McWethy, Mrs. Orpha Thomas, and Evart C. Phenis. Besides these three children she leaves one brother, Charles R. Norton of Madison, Kan., one sister, Mrs. Elnora Lyman, of Emporoa, Kan.; eight grandchildren, three great-grandchildren, a number of relatives and a host of friends to mourn her loss.

      Her husband, William Riley Phenis, departed this life on May 26, 1909, just twenty years ago.They both united with the Christian church at Guthrie, Okla., thirty-five years ago, and were both charter members of the Christian churches at Perkins and Agra, Okla.

      She lived a faithful Christian life, always devoting her time and strength to the welfare of others, forgetting herself in doing good to them.

      She expressed herself as being ready to go and longed to meet her husband and loved ones over there.

      The funeral sermon was preached in the Christian church in Ripley by Evangelist J.W. Garner to a crowded house, after which her mortal remains were laid to rest in the Ripley cemetery.
