"The North Loup Loyalist", North Loup, Nebraska, Friday, Nov. 5, 1926, p 1.
Flora David Thorngate was born October 7, 1867, at El Paso, Woodford County, Illinois. About 1878 she moved with her parents to Harvard, Clay County, Nebraska. From Harvard she went to North Loup in 1888 where she lived until September of last year when she and her husband and daughter Alice moved to Milton, Wisconsin, that they might make a home for Alice while she finished her course at Milton College.
On November 24, 1891, she was married to R. G. Thorngate. There were six children born to this union, Arlie, who died December 11, 1920, Melvin, Arthur, Walter, Aletha, and Alice.
Since Arlie's death she has been a loving mother to little Walter who has made his home with his grandparents all his life. She has always been a most faithful wife and mother and a wonderful home maker.
There are left to mourn her death, five of her children and three children-in-law, Clarence Davis, husband of Arlie, Rolland Maxson, husband of Melva, Grace, wife of Walter, six grandchildren, one brother, B. F. David of Denver, Colorado, a sister, Mrs. Ruth Morris, of Edmond, Oklahoma, and many other relatives and friends.
When she was a young woman she was baptized by Rev. G. J. Crandall at Harvard, Nebraska and joined the Seventh Day Baptist church at that place. Later she transferred her membership to the North Loup Seventh Day Baptist church where it has been ever since.
Although aware that Mrs. Flo Thorngate had not been well since she suffered a stroke of paralysis more than a year ago, her friends and relatives were shocked and grieved when the message came Saturday from her home at Milton that she has suffered another stroke and could not recover. A fire on the roof of their house had given her a fright before it could be extinguished and soon after she was taken suddenly, becoming paralyzed and a little later, unconscious. She remained in this condition until Monday afternoon, when the end came.
The body, accompanied by R. G. Thorngate and Arthur arrived in North Loup, Wednesday. Brief funeral services were held at Milton before leaving. Rev. Skaggs of the S. D. B. church read the scripture lesson, Edwin Shaw offered prayer and Professor Stringer sang. Funeral services were held at the Seventh Day Baptist church in North Loup Wednesday afternoon conducted by Rev. H. L. Polan and interment made in Hillside cemetery.
A quartette consisting of Roy Lewis, Esther Babcock, Susie Patterson and Del Barber furnished the music. Many beautiful flowers covered the casket and rostrum - a mute token of love and sympathy from friends and relatives.
The No-Lo club of which she was a former member attended the services in a body. "Flo" as she was familiarly known to almost everybody was a woman whose chief interest and concern were in her home and family. Her industry, hospitality, neighborliness and skill as a cook were known to all. With her passing the ranks of that group of old friends known among themselves even since heads are gray, as the "Young Married Folks," have again been broken and one more has gone on to join the group waiting on the other side. The sympathy of the community is extended to the bereaved husband and children.
