Florence Arlina Gage, (born 25 June 1891 in Gilbertsville NY) was the daughter of Charles Burdette Gage and Edith Aikins. She had a brother Frank Gage (who married Mertie Curtis).

At age 21, she married Rev. Harry Thomas Morrell. The Marriage Certificate confirms her parents are C.B. Gage and Edith J. Aikins.

In 1921 they had a daughter Gertrude Elaine Morrell (1921-2015) who married Theodore Walter Box (1915-2003). Gertrude had eight children, so I am confident I can find a living decendant of Flossie to receive her photo.

Flossie died 3 July 1950 and is buried at the Riverside Cemetery in South New Berlin, Chenango County, NY. Her husband survived her by 20 years.

This photo (at left) of Florence at age 31 was found on Ancestry.com and I include it here for comparison.
