The History of Flora
|
| Named after
Flora Buzzard by her father the post master at the time, the
town thrived for many a year. People arrived to raise
cattle, grow wheat, make shingles and lumber, and provide services
to those who worked with the land - smithies, preachers, and
teachers. |
At one time Flora was a thriving town
with parades and more.
|
| Flora wasn't a bustling metropolis,
but it contained several hundred people in and around the town. |

| Then, the town consisted of a bank building, warehouse, two
stores, three blacksmith shops, a newspaper, and a dental
office, hotel with stable,
school,
post office, telephone office, doctor's office and milinary
shop, flour mill, churches, three shingle mills, and numerous
logging companies. And, no there
was not even one tavern in the town.
...Although recently we did hear rumors of a
brothel...
