Sid McHugh (Florence's brother) wrote "Florrie died...when Little Florrie was born , I can recall some of the incidents associated with that sad occasion, such as the telegram we received from her husband when she died.  Will Yates wired: "Florrie died this morning - baby daughter alive."  
Heartbroken....Florrie's death was a great loss indeed to me.  I could not believe for a time that my beautiful sister was dead.  My sister was buried at a little place called Gosnells, in the West."
