Flossie b. 4/14/1897 IL, d. 3/24/1982 IL, md. 1) Jeffrey Long, 1922, md. 2) ? White. It's possible that Flossie was married a third time. Flossie had no children. She was Flossie White at the time of her death and lived in a small house in Wayne City. According to the census records Jeff Long & Flossie lived in Centralia, which is probably why George moved there ca. 1933. Jeff owned a mercantile store in 1930 and a car dealership and gun shop in 1940. My grandma Grace would take me to Aunt Flossie's house to check in on her when I was a little kid.
