Funeral For Flora Is Delayed For Son
Head of Shirt Concern Dies Suddenly in Home
Funeral arrangements for C. M. Flora, president of the Flora
Shirt company, will not be completed until Sunday when his son,
Carl, who is attending a Washington, D. C. law school arrives in
the city, it was announced Friday by members of the family.
Flora died suddenly early Friday morning at his home, 815 West
Eleventh Street, from heart failure. He was 56 years old.
He had been a resident of Oklahoma City since 1911 when he moved
his shirt factory here from Independence, Kan.
Flora was born near Liberty, Kan., April 22, 1868. His education
was received in Kansas schools, and he became owner of his own
factory at 34 years of age. He had been engaged in the shirt
manufacturing business for the last twenty-two years.
Active in civic and church affairs, Flora made scores of friends
in the city and through business association was known
throughout the state. He was a deacon in the First Presbyterian
church.
He is survived by his wife and two sons, Carl and Clarence.
Clarence lives with his parents.
