Mrs. FLOWER was born in Muskingum county, O., July 24th, 1831, and came to this county with her father, John DENNIS in 1848.

The wife and mother had many warm friends among the older people of the community, for she was a good woman in all the relations of life. Funeral services, conduted by Rev. J. F.
