I¡¯ve recovered an old photograph
of Florence Marion HENRY taken at the Martin Studio in Boone, IA when she was
15 months old.? The name ¡°Lena¡± also
appears on the back of the photograph as if that might be the person to whom
the photograph was gifted.? Based on
limited research I was able to locate the following information regarding
Florence and her family:
?
Florence Marion HENRY was b. 28
Mar 1895 in Perry, IA to parents Marion Almond HENRY (b. 1 Dec 1860) and Mona ¡°Monnie¡±
Alice CLARK (b. 1865).? Her Father was born
in Fleming, OH and 35 years old when she was born.? Marion¡¯s occupation at the time she was born
was identified as Depot Agent.? Her
Mother Mona was 30 years old at the time of Florence¡¯s birth and noted her
place of birth as Oregon.? Florence was
one of 5 children born to this couple including, Lina; Merrill Eugene;
Florence; Doris; and Mary HENRY, all born between 1885 and 1907.
?
Florence¡¯s Father died 28 Feb
1944 in Los Angeles Co., CA.
