Sarah died December 13, 1859, in Flora, and is buried in the family plot in Elmwood Cemetery.

The original town of Flora was laid out, surveyed and platted in February 1854 by Ethelred Nixon, County Surveyor; John Brown, Trustee for Songer, Camp & Company; and Samuel White.

It embraced eighty-five acres of the west half of Section 25, Township 3 north Range 6 east.

Samuel White who still owned the land, deeded one-half interest in forty acres to John Brown, Trustee, with a view of securing the town and depot.

An effort had already been made to establish a town one mile west called Mooresville, where over 100 lots had been sold and some buildings done.

The city's founder died November 15, 1912, in Sterling, Colorado, and was returned to Flora for burial in the family plot at Elmwood.

The book also contains historic information about the B & O railroad, the history of various buildings, and obituaries of some of Flora's early citizens.

Men who occupied these offices included the chief clerk, division engineer, superintendents, dispatchers, carpenters, signal supervisors, train masters and road foremen, plus railroad law enforcement officers and the district's own physician.

The depot became less important to the community and the days of hosting 12 passenger trains, daily passing through Flora, became a fond memory.

In 1998, the Flora B&O Depot was named one of three sites in Clay County on the National Register of Historic Places.

FCDC successfully obtained three federal grants to restore the building, matched by local donations of citizens.

The first floor houses the Flora Chamber of Commerce office, a museum containing city and county historical artifacts and two unfinished room available for occupancy.

[11] In 1987 a group of Flora officials formed the so-called "Barbed Wire Choir" and recorded a music video in an attempt to land a state prison.

After being shown on local TV stations, the video gained the attention of national programs such as MTV, Good Morning America and The Late Show Starring Joan Rivers.
