CYNTHIA A. DETEMORE

Franklin Democrat, Friday November 4,1904

Submitted by Roberta Biggerstaff

Cynthia A. Detemore of Waverly, daughter of William and Cassa A. Thompson of Waverly, departed this life Wednesday afternoon, October 26, 1904, after an illness of three weeks of that dread disease, typhoid fever. She was born near Centenary church, Morgan County, Indiana. September 29, 1855, age forty-nine years and twenty-seven days. She united in marriage to James Detemore September 9, 1877. To this union were given five children of whom four are living, Gertrude Ferguson and Ethel Wood who have homes of their own will not miss the anxious and loving care of mother so much as Claude and Mamie who are left with their father to mourn their loss. She confessed her Savior and united with the M. E. church at this place during a meeting held by Sister Nice in the year 1890. During our school days together at this place, she was always of a very quiet and unassuming disposition and I believe the same can be said of her to the end of life. The funeral services were held Friday morning at Waverly church conducted by Rev. Sidebottom of Brooklyn. Interment was in the Odd Fellows cemetery.
