1921-1922: Quay, Oklahoma, baby Florence

The first of the children to be born in Oklahoma was Florence, later Florence Pugh (1921-2007).  The best of these pictures includes a good image of Gladys with sleeping baby Florence:

Probably Mary standing, left
and David, right
 There are also baby pictures of Florence with her older siblings.  This may be an interior shot of the house.  There are two calendars in the picture, but neither can be read even with magnification.

 Florence's proud parents sent around a post-card shot of her first birthday on the porch of the oil field house.  This post-card must have been returned later on by George's sister Dora.

Perhaps taken in Tulsa during a visit to Aunt Dora?


Florence is still the baby of the family here:

Her little sister Marjorie will arrive in December, 1922. But for now:
