Biography

Florence was born in 1872. She was the daughter of Jonathan Rogers and Sarah Armitage. She passed away 3rd January 1887 or 1893. Family information said she died 3rd January 1893 - transcription of headstone says 3rd January 1887. We can't read the exact year on the headstone. And could not find a death certificate. BUT on further examination, the Find A Grave, has her death in Etobicoke so we assume they put 1887 date because of the Florence Rogers who died there then. We have proven that to be the wrong Florence - see below. So we are going with the death year as 1893.
