FLORENCE A. (CARR) HIGHT, 22 Jan 1864 - 17 Feb 1904

   Florence A. Carr was born in Jackson Tp., Steuben county, Ind., January 
22, 1864, and when eighteen months old her parents moved to Pleasant Tp., 
near Crooked Lake, where her whole life, excepting the last thirteen 
years, were passed.  During these years she bore her full share of the 
sorrow and burdens, and entered fully in the joys of an itinerant's life.  
She was of a cheerful, sunny temperament, always happy in serving others.  
She was converted at the age of fifteen and her life was a beautiful 
emblem of her profession.  Twenty-three years ago she was united in 
marriage with J. P. Hight.  To this union were born four children, two 
died in infancy.  Glen, the oldest, is serving a four year enlistment in 
the United States Navy and at this time is at Naples, Italy, and will not 
know of his bereavement before weeks have passed.  She died at Rockford, 
Ohio, Feb. 17, 1904, aged 40 years and 25 days, and the remains were 
brought to Gage, Steuben county, Ind., for burial.  In her last message 
she said, "I am prepared!  Meet me in heaven."  This like a benediction 
will shed its sweetness on those who are left to mourn their loss through 
all the years of their earthly pilgrimage.  She leaves a father, mother, 
two sons, husband and many relatives.  Funeral services were conducted by 
Elder J. W. Lilly, of Hicksville, Ohio, Sunday, Feb. 21.
