Richard B. Flowers died very suddenly last Tuesday afternoon about three o'clock, at his home in south Clarinda, of apoplexy. The news of his death came like a thunder bolt to his many friends and acquaintances in the city, who could hardly believe it as he had been up town, alive and well, in the morning. Shortly after dinner he and his wife were sitting together in the lawn swing at home, and he complained of not feeling well. He had not been in the best of health for some time before, but seemed to feel worse that day, and spoke of some work in the garden that he ought to do. He stepped out of the swing and walked into the garden, where he worked for a short time, and then went into the house, complaining of a terrible pain in his chest and head. Though he was suffering intensely, he bore it with great fortitude, as he had always borne all his sufferings, and tried to keep his wife from becoming unduly alarmed. She gave him some medicine for the pain, however, and he felt easier. He slowly recovered, and sat with her for nearly half an hour, chatting and laughing, though through it all there was a vein of seriousness and impending misfortune. He spoke of his great embarassment in life, in having poor hearing. He seemed to feel that he would not live, and told his wife that he loved her fondly, and kissed her. It was their last earthly kiss. Only a few moments after, the awful pain seized him again. Mrs. Flowers ran to telephone for a doctor, and when she returned he had summoned a neighbor, fearing that he would die alone. Together they worked with him, but only a few moments after the doctor arrived he expired. His children did not have time to come home from school in time to see him alive, so sudden was his demise.
The occurrence is exceedingly sad, and more so because of its suddenness. Mr. Flowers was well known all over the county and surrounding territory. He was born in Brownsville, Ohio, on Sept. 22, 1838. About twenty years ago he came to Iowa, settling at Bedford. Later he lived on a farm near Clarinda, and was engaged successfully in the horse business. He was a great lover of fine animals, especially borses, and was often engaged at fairs and stock shows as expert judge. Only a few weeks ago he officiated at the Red Oak fair. A few years ago he bought several good lots in south Clarinda, and built a first class home for himself and family. There they have lived happily ever since, and there the funeral services were conducted yesterday afternoon, by Rev. E. E. IlgenFritz, of the M. E. Church.
In his younger days Mr. Flowers was a faithful member of the Methodist church, but in his later years his very defective hearing prevented him from taking part in church services. He was an excellent man in every way, kind and affectionate to his family, friendly and courteous, aud his death is mourned by the whole community.
Mr. Flowers had one brother and three sisters, all of whom survive him, but are scattered and could not be present at the funeral. Seven children were born to him by his first wife. They are:—Welch, who is in California; Will, in Ohio; Mrs. Leota Scott, in Missouri; Mrs. Ada Alley, in Coin; Earl and Mrs. Anna Vawters, in Coin; and Grace, in Missouri. Two children, Mabel and Roscoe, were born by his second wife, and both are living to mourn the loss of a loving and affectionate father. Mrs. Flowers and the children have the sympathy of all in their great sorrow.
At the funeral yesterday music was furnished by a male quartet composed of Otis Lucas, C. L. Vance, Orie Keener and F. N. Tomlinson. The interment took place in the Clarinda cemetery. Mrs. Flowers and children desire to express their heartfelt thanks to the neighbors and friends who kindly gave assistance and sympathy in their bereavement. CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, Oct 5, 1900

Mr. Richard B. Flowers died Tuesday, Oct. 2, 1930, at 3 o'clock p. m., at his home in south Clarinda from heart failure. He was on the streets about noon and in apparent usual health, and after dinner went out to clear the yard, when he was taken with a pain in his left breast and retired to the house and laid down. He told his wife he was going to die and she sent for the doctor and the children at school but before they arrived he passed away. Mr. Flowers was born in Brownsville, Ohio, Sept. 22, 1838. He was married to Miss Mary Welch and three boys and four girls were born to them. In 1874 he removed to Taylor
County, Iowa, where he remained about a year and then removed to the farm he still owned out near Page Center, where his wife died. He afterwards married Mrs. Delia Polsley, the mother of two fatherless children, and two children, a boy and girl, were the fruits of this union. Mr. Flowers was an upright and favorable man in all his dealings, and respected by all who knew him. His sudden death casts a gloom over the community. He was 63 years and 10 days of age.
