Lavina Jane Gardner, daughter of Benjamin and Nancy Gardner, was born in Marion county, Ohio, December 15, 1850, and died at her home in Riverton November 17, 1931, aged 80 years, 11 months and 2 days.
She was the youngest of a family of ten children and was also the last surviving member of her family. When a small child she came to Iowa where, with the exception of two years spent in Kansas, and one year at Maryville, Missouri, she resided until death. The house in which she died had been her home for forty-six years.
At Linden, Missouri, December 22, 1868, she was united in marriage to Francis Marion Fleming, who passed away March 12, 1909. To this union were born eleven children, five of whom preceded their mother in death. Four of these, Addie, Jesse, Charles and Lucy, are buried in the home cemetery and Thomas in Muncie, Indiana. The surviving children are Roy, Richard, Everett and Frank and Mrs. Perry Travis of Sidney; She also leaves twenty-eight grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren.
Mrs. Fleming was baptized and joined the Baptist church at a young age and was united with the Riverton church in 1912. She began to fail in health some two months ago and on October 17 she was taken to the Hamburg hospital where she endeared herself to doctors and nurses with her kind and patient disposition. After two weeks there she was brought to her home where everything that kind and loving hands could do was done.
Funeral services were held Thursday afternoon at the home, conducted by Rev. D. N. Gillett. Music was furnished by Mesdames Ellis Broughton, Neil Notson and Ed Parkison. Pallbearers were six nephews, U. G. Horton, Wilbur, Fred, M. Z. and Oscar Beam. Interment was in Riverton cemetery.
