RE: Florence Lillian Chapman b 26 Nov 1887, Minneapolis; died 10 Sep 1992; Minneapolis [ note there is a very short obit, in Star Tribune, issue 13 Sep 1992 p 44; died at age 104; residence Walker Methodist Residence; burial at Lakewood ** this may be the same as Myrtle Porter]
- this FT records that Florence married John Henry Young who died 14 Jul 1938 in Hennepin Co (b Sep 1880 in Chicago) and that Florence's mother was Sophie J Hanson (1866-1953) and who was married to Charles L Champman AND was married to August Erickson )1865-1940) ' AND was the sister to Myrtle Lucinda Chapman (5 Jul 1889-16 Sep 1987) AND links to a marriage record to William Harrison Porter BUT married in 1954
