In commenting upon the announcement of the death of Mrs. Chas. LaFlore, mother of Mrs. Lee Cruce, and who was so well and favorably known in Ardmore, the Denison Herald pays this high tribute of respect. It says: Mrs. Chas. LaFlore was the wife of Chas. LaFlore, Captain of the Indian police. The deceased was one of the best known ladies of the Indian territory. She was the sister of ex-Governor William Guy of the Chickasaw Nation, and a niece of the late ex-Governor Harris. Her sister, Mrs. Robert Ream, has a national reputation. Mrs. LaFlore, like other members of the family, was beautiful as will as accomplished. She leaves six children, Anne, Estelle, Chickie and Chockie (twins) Daisey and Maude. The writer was a guest at the LaFlore home off and on for a number of years, remaining several weeks in the year 1882. The hospitality of the LaFlore's was noted throughout the Indian country. Mr. and Mrs. LaFlore always kept "open houses" to friends as well as strangers. She was a woman of great intelligence and ability, managing the ferry at Limestone as well as looking after three or four large farms. The deceased at the time of her death, was fifty years of age.
