[Photograph of the Florence Family in front of their home]

Photograph of George Washington "Wash" Florence and his wife Beulah Mae Prater with their children Howell and Gus standing in front their home which was located at Garden Valley and Lindale Road in Tyler, Texas. The house had a breezeway running through the middle with what appears to be a fireplace on the left and possibly, the living quarters on the right. A full-length porch can be seen in front of the house and a separate building on the left. Wash made his living as a farmer until his death in 1919 due to Spanish Influenza. Beulah, left with two children, had to sell the farm and became a seamstress. She was the daughter of Richard Wesley Prater and Margaret Almeda Harpole. The library has more photos of the Prater family.
