Dear List:
I am really after a Florence Filbert who was born in Nebraska, the granddaughter of my
Greatgrandfather's Sister.
Florence A Filbert was born in March of 1886, Cass County, Nebraska. Her father was a
James B. Filbert (Philbert was also used) he was from Linton, Greene County, IN.
It is believed that James brought his two daughters back to Linton in the early 1900s
after their mother died.
I found a record for the birth of a baby girl, no first name given, and Richard Bennett as
the father and Florence Filbert given as the mother.
In the 1910 Census I found in Fulton County ILL. a Richard Bennett born in KY, Florence
and daughter Thelma 5 years old (born in Indiana)
In the 1920 census I found in Vermillion County, IN a Richard Bennett born KY, Florence
and Thelma and son Harry 7 years old born in ILL.
In the 1930 census I found in Greene County, Wright TWP. Richard Bennett Born KY, Florence
and son Harry age 18 years old.
By 1930 Thelma may have married but I don't have a clue as to whom she married.
I have founf on the web site a Harry E. Bennett Burried in the Lebanon cemetery in Wright
Township.
What I would like to know is if there are any living member from this family still living
in the area.
I could sure use some help,
