Notes - MHR note: She died of TB. She is buried in Emberry Cemetery, eleven miles north of Muncie, Indiana, beside her mother and one marker serves them both. The marker was erected by her uncle, P.T. Hedges.
Ida Cronkhite said that Lora visited in Kentucky and when she returned she had a ring given to her by Marion Ingram (son of William Ingram and Mary Jane Cassity). But whether it was an engagement ring or not they did now know as Lora died soon after coming home.
Lora died a month after the death of her older sister, Lou.
