Florence G. LAWSON (b. 14 Nov 1872 Steady Run, Keokuk Co., IA d. 21 Jan 1952) married Elmer Webb PHILLIPPE 1 May 1895. Note: this information is taken from family notes and it isn't clear to me if the marriage took place in Keokuk (likely) and/or Florence LAWSON PHILLIPPE died in Keokuk. In the 1930 IA, Wapello, Ottumwa census Webb was 59, Florence 56 and their son Harold W. was 22. The 1910 Wapello Co., IA census lists two sons, Henry 10 and Harold 2. This would put Henry PHILLIPPE as b. abt 1900 and Harold abt. 1908. There is an SSDI listing for Harold L. PHILLIPPE b. 9 Mar 1909, d. 24 Oct 2002 in Temple City, Los Angeles, CA; the SS card was issued IA.

My interest is in the LAWSON line. Florence LAWSON PHILLIPPE was a daughter of Sarah CRAFT LAWSON and Joseph LAWSON of Keokuk, Iowa. Joseph LAWSON was my great great grandfather. I am hoping to locate PHILLIPPE descendants or historians who might have information to share.
