Cutlery thought to have been used by Florence Luella Warner as a child. Florence Luella Warner was born December 3, 1886 to parents Melissa Jane Warner (nee Garrison) and Augustus Coleman Warner. She was born into a family that included several older siblings. November 22, 1876 Melissa Jane Garrison married Augustus Coleman Warner, and were planning on living in Colebrook once married. Augustus was a 35 year old merchant from Camden. By 1891 the family had expanded now with one son and five daughters; Arther H. (b1878), Estella E. (b.1881), Georgia M. (b.1884), Belva A. (b. 1886), Florence Luella (b.1886), and Mary Beatrice. (b.1891). The pair had one more child in 1894, named Hattie, who sadly died a year later. Florence married Harold George Anderson September 4, 1912 in the village of Colebrook. At the time of the wedding Harold worked as a liveryman (someone who worked or owned a stable with horses for hire) in Napanee, while Florence worked as a house keeper. Sometime before 1921 the family moved to 12 Dundas Street. In 1914 they had a daughter, Doris who would go on to be Head Girl of Napanee Collegiate Institute and study Math and Physics at Queens. |
