Crestline Advocate
Thursday, 3 April 1919


         Friends of MISS FLORENCE BILSING were grieved
       Wednesday morning to learn of her death which
       occurred at two o'clock that morning at her home
       on East Main street. While MISS BILSING has been
       in poor health for a year, she was always opti-
       mistic and felt that she would soon regain health
       after a time. She was at her place as clerk at
       Neff's dry goods store on Wednesday of last week,
       but on Thursday was unable to leave the house,
       and on Monday took a decided turn for the worse
       and did not regain consciousness. Death was due
       to diabetic coma. Funeral services will be held
       from the Evangelical Lutheran church at 2 o'clock
       Friday afternoon, conducted by the pastor, Rev.
       L. M. Mohrhoff.
         FLORENCE BILSING was born March 31, 1901 on a
       farm 5 miles northeast of Crestline, the daughter
       of WILLIAM and ELIZABETH BILSING. Her father died
       when she was four years of age and the family came
       to Crestline, where she has spent the remainder of
       her short life of 18 years. She attended the pub-
       lic schools and has been an interested and active
       worker in the Sunday School and Luther League of
       the Evangelical Lutheran church of which she was
       a member. She was employed for a time in Holcker's
       bakery, but since November has been at the Neff
       store.
         The deceased is survived by her mother, MRS.
       ELIZABETH BILSING, one sister, MRS. HENRY STOUGH,
       of Galion, and one brother, EDWARD BILSING, at
       home.
