LAST MEMBER OF SHOWERS FAMILY DIES
Lola Ingler Suffers Stroke; Rites to be Friday at Residence
Bloomington's last remaining member of the original Showers family, Mrs. Lola Showers Ingler, passed away at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Noble Campbell, 214 East Seventh Street, at five o'clock this morning. The 93-year-old woman sustained a fractured limb in August and was thought to be convalescing satisfactorily. She suffered a stroke of paralysis at seven o'clock last evening and never regained consciousness.
With the passing of Mrs. Ingler is written another chapter in the history and progress of Bloomington. The family, of which she was the last member, founded the Showers Brothers Furniture Factory and made immeasurable contributions to the industrial and social growth of the community.
Mrs. Ingler, the daughter of Charles C. Showers and Elizabeth Hull Showers, was born March 7, 1852, at Rock Island, Illinois. The father was a circuit riding Methodist minister and cabinet maker. It was he who taught the young sons the art of cabinet making that led to the founding here of the famous furniture factory. The brothers, and founders, J. P. (sic), W. N., and C. H. Showers, all preceded their sister in death.
Up until the time of her injury, Mrs. Ingler retained a keen interest in community affairs and the activities of the First Methodist Church and the Wednesday Club of which she was a member.
She was married on February 4, 1874, to John P. Smith and to this union was born one daughter, Mrs. Campbell, with whom she lived. A granddaughter, Mrs. Charles A. Ziegler (sic), also survives.
The following nieces, all of this city, survive: Mrs. B. D. Myers, Mrs. Sanford Teter, Mrs. Edward Showers, Mrs. Beryl Holland and Mrs. Sam Wylie. Mrs. Edna Wenz of Indianapolis and Mrs. Bessie Brooks of Pennsylvania are also her nieces.
After being prepared for burial at the Allen Funeral Home, the body was returned to the home of the daughter, 214 East Seventh Street, his afternoon where she will lie in state.
Services will be conducted at the residence Friday morning at eleven o'clock with the Rev. W. H. Wylie officiating, assisted by Dr. Merrill B. McFall. Burial will follow in Rose Hill.
Pallbearers will be Clyde Hare, William Teter, Robert Dillon, Charles H. Dunn, Dr. R. T. Ross and John Dillon.
