Flora Molton
Flora Molton was a street singer in Washington, D.C. She accompanied herself on guitar and sang religious songs and songs of her own composition; “spiritual and truth music,” she said. Her roadside marker on Three Notch Road (U.S.-250) near Zion Crossroads tells of encounters with generations of people on the streets of Washington and speaks kindly of the love she sensed coming from all of them. Flora Molton (1908-1990) was born here in Louisa County, daughter of the Reverend Mr. and Mrs. William Rollins. She embraced the joys of singing at church gatherings early in life. For many, the songs of youth linger unknowingly embedded only to flourish later in a thriving adult. So it was with Flora Molton. Her spiritual and truth music and her compositions are lasting here at home, on the streets of Washington and beyond.
