I've "rescued" an old photograph of Miss Florence LIVINGSTONE of Centre
Junction, Jones Co., Iowa which was taken at the Miller Studio in Anamosa,
IA. The photograph appears to have been taken in the 1890's or early 1900's
with Miss LIVINGSTONE likely in her teens at the time it was taken. Based
on limited research I was able to gather the following information regarding
Florence and her family:
Florence Louise LIVINGSTONE b. 1 Apr 1888 in Center Junction, IA to parents
Robert LIVINGSTONE (b. 20 Nov 1846 in Crief, Scotland) and Celia Ann CLINE
(b. 31 Jan 1852 in Vincennes, IN). Florence married Benjamin Harrison
GREENE on 2 Sept 1913 in Center Junction, IA and died 4 Mar 1960 in Salt
Lake City, UT.
Census records provide the following:

I am hoping to locate someone from Florence's family so that this wonderful
old treasure can be returned to the care of her family. If you are a member
of this family, or you know someone who might be, please contact me.
Thanks,
Shelley
