Obituary For Amanda Louise Elmore

Mrs. Amanda Louise Elmore - of Lafayette, Indiana - 'The worth of life depends not upon the years of its duration, but on the spirit in which it was lived.'

Those left to treasure many fond memories are her loving husband, Mr. Byron (Jake) Elmore of many years, and family; sisters, Mrs. Martha Ann O'Neal, Ms. Lillie G. London, Ms. Addie E.
