Obituary for Frances (Force) Flory (1924-2013)
Oh, the fascination--and challenge--of family history!! An ancestor is identified (by Patrick McGarry) as Elizabeth Mary Frantz. I could not find her in the Frantz Families -- Kith & Kin Index. I searched Ancestry and found her spouse identified as Benjamin Stouffer. With that clue, I searched the FF-KK Index and found Benjamin Stauffer on page 65 of Vol. One. Her birth (1815 Roanoke, Halifax Co., VA) and death (5 Sep 1902 Clay, Montgomery Co., OH) dates match those of the spouse I listed as Esther/Hettie Frantz. Her father was Henry Frantz (1773-1840) married to Mary Kinsey/Kinzie (1777-1847). That information is on page 65 of Vol. One. This is the lineage of Immigrant Christian Frantz (1685-1738), page 35, Vol. One, Frantz Families -- Kith & Kin.
