Flora V. Buxton, nee Earhart, was born in Cedar Co., Iowa, April 30th, 1857 and died at her home in Milan, Mo., February 6th, 1886. She was 28 years, 9 months and 7 days old.
The subject of this sketch was educated at Wilton Seminary, Iowa. She moved with her father's family to Lexington, Mo., in 1871. The family moved from that place to near Judson, Sullivan Co., Mo., in 1876, where they have since resided. She was married to Mr. J. Buxton, at her home, May 15th, 1881, and has since that time lived in Milan, Mo. She leaves a fond husband and a little daughter, Nora May, 3 years and 7 months old, to mourn her untimely loss. The disease that terminated her earthly existence was typho-malarial fever, after an illness of five weeks duration.
All that medical skill, with tender hands and loving hearts could do for her failed to arrest the disease, and at 9 o'clock p.m., surrounded by her relatives and friends, she passed to her reward.
She was converted and joined the M. E. Church in 1884, and during her long and painful sickness, complained but little, but with Christian fortitude committed herself into the hands of the Lord. During the last two weeks of her sickness she lost the power of speech, but her mind was clear and composed.
She was a loving wife, and an affectionate mother-possessing a smooth and gentle disposition. Her chief concern what that of her husband and child, and to her home she was fondly attached.
Her funeral was preached at the M. E. Church in Milan, February 8th, 1886, ;by Elder M. L. Curls of Louisiana, Mo., to a large and attentive audience. Her remains were temporarily interred in Oakwood Cemetery.
Kind friends did all they could to soften and mollify the broken hearts of those nearest and dearest to her, but, alas! Human sympathy can not penetrate the depths of sorrow, and bind up the broken hearts that lay bleeding, and refused to be comforted by human agency. God alone can support and sustain them in their deep affliction. We mourn not, as those do who have no hope; but we look up to Him that doeth all things well, and with humble hearts, repeat:
"not my will, but Thine, O Lord, be done."
So live, that when thy summons come to join
The innumerable caravan that moves
To that mysterious realm, where each
Shall take his chamber in the silent halls of death,
Thou go not like the quarry slave at night,
Scourged to his dungeon; but, sustained and soothed
By an unfaltering trust, approach the grave.
Like one who wraps the drapery of his couth
About him, and lies down to pleasant dreams.
"Farewell till we meet again."
