Obituary - Mrs. C. M. Fluke
City May Nott, daughter of Tiffin Roswell and Elizabeth Keeler Nott, was born near Lewistown, Illinois, October 27, 1858, and died at her home Wednesday, May 10, 1944, at the age of 85 years, 6 months and 14 days. She was the last of a family of four children.
On October 27, 1876, she was married to Charles Manley Fluke at Lewistown, Illinois. To them four children were born: Darrah Lee Fluke of Blockton, Meredith Kay Fluke of Bedford, Charles Thomas Fluke of Blockton and a son who died in infancy.
In early-married life they moved to Howard County, Kansas, where they resided about one and a half years. In May of 1887 they moved to the farm near Athelstan on which they lived continuously since that time. Mr. Fluke died Sept. 15, 1933.
In girlhood she united with a Methodist church near her parents' home. Her membership was transferred when new homes were established and is now in the Methodist church at Sheridan, Missouri.
She was always devoted to her home and family and in later life was confined closely by ill health to the home, where she was cared for by the third son, Charles Thomas Fluke. She spent much time in reading and was especially fond of poetry.
Mrs. Fluke is survived by her three sons, nine grandchildren and eight great grandchildren.
The funeral services were conducted by Rev. J. E. M. Chambers of Blockton at the Methodist church in Platteville Sunday afternoon, May 14. Burial was in the Platteville cemetery.
