Florence Morgan Marriage Date 10 August 1904 Marriage Place Carthage, Jasper, Missouri, USA Spouse George Vanhorn

R. H. Van Horn is listed as the father of George Van Horn, giving his permission for the marriage.

*~*
Notes: George and Florence in 1910 census at Prosperity, Jasper, MO, with son Ray.
It would seem that Florence is attached to the correct George B. Van Horn and is also attached to their son.
In 1920 the couple were in Quapaw, Ottawa, Oklahoma with their son Ray, where George was a hoisterman in a zinc mine.
In 1930 the couple were in the same place, still with son Ray with them, where George is a grocery store merchant.
In 1940 the widow Florence Van Horn was a roomer in Picher, OK, working as a cook?/clerk in a drugstore.
Could not find Florence in newspapers about then, except the article about her being at the bedside of her mother as mom was dying.
