Hello, I can help you with Flora's ancestors for your family tree. But I don't have anything on her children or where you can find her. I have Flora's maiden name as Belcher. She had two husbands: Fred Powell and William Purdue. Flora's parents were: Henry Newton Belcher and Leona Monteza (Belcher). Two seperate Belcher lines that may interconnect but I only have back to Henry's grandfather name. As for Leona I have her line all the way back quite far.

Flora had ten siblings of whom I have names and dates for.

Leona Monteza Belcher was b: 26 Aug 1873 Eddyville, Pope, Illinois; and d: 24 Oct 1949 Ware, Union Co., IL.- Interment Jonesboro Cemetary, IL

Leona m: 29 Jun 1893 Johnson, Illinois to Henry Newton Belcher. Henry was b: 02 Aug 1871 Eddyville, Pope, Illinois; and d: 22 Mar 1932 Jonesboro, Union, Illinois 62952.

Parents of Leona Monteza Belcher were:
George Washington Belcher & Charity Reams.

George Washington Belcher b: 06 Apr 1852 Union Co., Illinois
and d: 13 Jul 1932 Jonesboro, Union, Illinois 62952

Charity Reams b: 15 Mar 1852 and d: 08 Nov 1922 Reynoldsville, Union, Illinois.

George & Charity had seven children of whom I have names & dates for.

It is Leona's brother Alvin Alexander Belcher who my husband comes down from. Alvin's dauther Alma Imogene (Belcher)Dubson was my husbands grandmother.


I have a copy of a photograph of George & Charity and their kids.
