Surnames: Garrison, Russell, Pinkerman, Smith Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/mEY.2ACEB/2042 Message Board Post: I am seeking information concerning Ethel "Etta" Russell Pinkerman Garrison and her daughter Florence "Flossie" Ethel Pinkerman Smith. Florence, listed as “Flossie” Pinkerman, age 8, is listed in the 1900 Census of Kansas City, Jackson County, Missouri. They are boarding at 1924 Grand Avenue with a Kathleen Myers, age 37 and her son, George Flemings, age 20. In the Census, her birth date is listed as September 1891, the place of her birth Kansas and the birthplace of her father as Pennsylvania. Ethel/Etta is listed as Etta Garrison, age 25, a widow, born in September 1874 in Illinois and both of Etta’s parents are listed as born in Illinois. Apparently, Etta or Ethel had been married and widowed twice by the age of 25. She likely remmarried since I did not find her in the 1910 Census of Missouri as Etta Garrison. Flossie/Florence married Lankford Pargo Smith on 16 December 1906 in Tarrant Co., Texas. Lankford, age 28, his wife Florence E., age 18, and daughters Bonnylyn, age 2, and Etta Mae, age four months, are listed as boarders in the household of Elizabeth H. Gammon in the 1910 Census for Fort Worth. In this Census, the birthplace of Florence’s father is listed as Missouri, which is different than the 1900 Census
