Flora Carver
(1873 - 1923)

Mrs. Charles F. Carver Dies Suddenly
F. C. Sigler received a telegram Saturday morning advising him that his sister, Mrs. Flora Sigler Carver, had passed away at the breakfast table that morning at her home in South Pasadena, California. Mr. and Mrs. Sigler left Saturday night for California and were joined at Kansas City with Mr. Sigler’s sister, Mrs. R. B. McCune. No particulars of the death have been received here but it was known that for some time Mrs. Carver had been suffering from a goiter, and it is supposed it was the cause of her death. Mrs. Carver was born in Corning, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. S. Sigler. Following her father’s death she came to Indianola with her mother, about 1892 and made her home here until her marriage to Charles Elliot Carver, of Los Angeles, in the spring of 1906. She was educated in Simpson College and Simpson conservatory, and affiliated with Pi Beta Phi.
Since her marriage her home has been in South Pasadena. Besides her husband she leaves a daughter, Catherine, aged twelve. She was prominent in the younger social and church life when here. Her last visit to Indianola was in the spring of 1920 when Mr. Carver was a delegate from the Southern California conference to the general conference of the Methodist church at Des Moines.
