Florence Luella TRAPSCHUH (who was the subject of yesterday's Tombstone Tuesday)


Florence Luella TRAPSCHUH was the youngest of Gustav Mathias TRAPSCHUH's offspring - she is at the far right here with her siblings (two older ones had died as children).

Tombstone Tuesday - 13 July 2010 - Florence Luella Trapschuh Sherman

TRAPSCHUH plot in Greenwood Cemetery, Spokane, Spokane, Washington

Florence Luella TRAPSCHUH SHERMAN, b: 10 August 1887, Ohio, USA; d: July 1972, Spokane, Spokane, Washington, USA.

Florence married Cleveland H. SHERMAN in about 1904 in Spokane and they had 7 children, 5 of which lived past childhood.

Florence was my first cousin, twice removed. I was reconnected with that part of the family a few years ago, thanks to the Internet. The above photo was taken by Lance MURPHY, my third cousin. I appreciate his help and that of his mother, Genevieve TRAPSCHUH JOHNSTON, who helped fill in a lot of blanks for this side of my family.
