The 1937 and 1938 city directories do not show an address 1133.
Between 1932 and 1934 granddaughter Florella Marie Crutcher and husband Earl Henry and family moved from their home on North Oxford to 1233 Congress. Florella Marie died there as a widow in 1950, after which their son Donald and his wife were living there. The address where Flora lived must have been 1233 instead of 1133.
1233 is between Elmira and Barnes streets.

Moyer, Beaumont, Texas; sister of George Breckenridge, Muskogee, Oklahoma; grandmother of Mrs. Earl Henry, passed away May 27. Friends may call at Blasengym Chapel, 2229 Shelby st., after 12 o'clock Sunday. Funeral service 10 a.m. Tuesday. Interment New Crown cemetery.
(Died on Friday, 27th; buried on Tues, 31st. image attached)
comment: I contacted Indiana State Library 2 or 3 weeks ago with the request that they look for an obit for Flora (my great-grandmother). A follow up call a few days later, and then a week or some days went by and then the lady called to say she found it. Great! She mailed it, and then another week to get here. It came in the mail "today" Friday, May 27, 2011. What is so awesome about this is Flora died on Friday, May 27, 1938! How amazingly cool is that!

Per cemetery records, the unmarked spaces on either side of her are occupied by a James W. Asher (1871-1908) on one side and then Emma Ellis (dates not obtained) on the other. Neither seem to be related.
