Flora Orcutt, daughter of Hall Henderson and Eliza Nichols Orcutt, was born September 1, 1860, in Concord, Minn., and was called to rest at her home in Battle Creek, Mich., October 12, 1945.
Mrs. Tappan served the Lord many years. A convert to the Sabbath in her early years, she joined the Dodge Center Seventh Day Baptist Church, and later served as deaconess for ten years, as Sabbath school superintendent, and in other phases of the Lord's work. In 1912 she wrote the history of the Dodge Center Sabbath School which was published in conjunction with the Church history prepared by Rev. H. D. Clarke. When she and her husband, Frank Tappan, moved to Battle Creek, both served faithfully in that church. She was active in Ladies' Aid and other church work as long as her health permitted, and her judgment was depended upon even during her declining years. The memorial service was held in the Farley Funeral Home in Battle Creek, conducted by Pastor Alton L. Wheeler, assisted by Rev. Edward M. Holston. Interment was at the Memorial Park Cemetery. A. L.
