Person:Lora Fluharty (1)

NOTE: Find A Grave claims that she was the daughter of Hezekiah Fluharty and Margaret Beverlin^[1], yet she is not listed in either the 1900^[2] or 1910^[3] census with this family. Therefore, it is possible that she was not their daughter.

However, it is also possible that she had been placed in an institution and was treated by the family as if deceased (this was not uncommon at the time for a child with severe problems such as Down's Syndrome). In the 1900 census, Margaret indicated that she had 5 children, of whom 1 was deceased^[2], and the in the 1910 census, she indicated that she had 9 children, of whom 2 were deceased^[3] (one being Warren). Either there was an unknown child who died before 1900, or Lora was their child and considered to be deceased when put in an institution.
