NOTE: Records indicate that both Flossie and Frank must have been left in foster care shortly after their mother died, according to the 1920 U.S. population Census. I can't seem to find any records for Flossie or Frank after the 1920 U.S. Census and I also could not find any further records for certain concerning their father Wiliam. Frank Brown was a frequent visitor of his cousin, John Z. Gill's home in Vancouver, WN., as well as John Gill's son Edwin Gill's home in Kelso, WA. Our family hasn't seen Frank since the late 1960's and have no idea where he lived other than Idaho. He could have possibly have moved to Illinois, or Oregon.?

Note: The 1920 Census indicates Flossie was living in a "Children's Home" which was referred to as a "Receiving home for North Idaho. It was located on 18th Ave., in Lewiston, Nez Perce County, Idaho. Flossie was listed as a "Boarder". Her father was listed as being born in Colorado. Flossie appeared to be living on the same street as her brother frank, but had a different house number.
