She had two brothers and one sister as per her obituary in 1975, butonly one of the brothers-Clyde-is known at present (Update, Charles isanother brother). Florence was married briefly to Lewis Jacobs, m.1914 d. 1918, and became a widow within just a few years with herfirst marriage. She then subsequently married her first husband'sbrother Andrew Jacobs, m. 1919, divorced bef. 1934. Florence hadnine children listed according to her son George Juhl's birthcertificate, six were still living in 1975; Wilbur (w. Betty,Davenport, IA), Franklin (w. Virginia, Andalusia, IL.), Samuel (w.Marie, Rock Island, IL-Marie is deceased.), Charles Dwayne (Portland,Oregon & Santa Barbara, CA., deceased), Nellie (Chicago, IL.), Pauline(h. Cook, Graber, of Bloomdale, Ohio).
"Including this child, how many children born alive to this mother? 9; How many of these children are now alive? 9." as of May 1937 onGeorge's birth certificate. This number also includes George. Two ofthe children George doesn't remember anything about. However, theywere living when George was born. It can only be surmised then thatthey must have both died prior to George being old enough to rememberthem.

After Florence married Peter Juhl, George Peter Juhl was born to them,and they remained married and together until their deaths. She againbecame a widow after 35 years of marriage, and lived another fiveyears after her husband Peter had died in 1970.
Florence and Peter lived in Joy, Illinois for many years where Georgehad gone through all his years of school. Most of Florence's childrenby her first two marriages were nearly all grown and out from home bythe time George was in high school. She had one sister who survivedher when she died. The sister lived in Chicago, Illinois. At thistime there is not too much known about her family by her son Georgeother than he thinks she is of Dutch descent, and at one time thefamily lived in South Dakota prior to her being born in MercerCounty, Illinois. Besides her children, she had 16 grandchildren, and27 great-grandchildren. She was a member of the Methodist Church inJoy, Illinois where George was baptized until Peter had a stroke andafter his death she subsequently moved to Aledo, Illinois. In Aledo,she attended the First United Presbyterian Church.
Florence is buried next to Peter in the New Boston Cemetery in NewBoston Township, New Boston, Mercer County, Illinois.
Conversation with George Peter Juhl, son of Florence M. Hand JacobsJuhl: "Mom had a brother named Clyde. He lived in Creve Coeur in thePeoria, Illinois suburb area when I was growing up. I remember alsothat mom's grandfather was from the Peoria area as well. I think thatmom's family were originally in the Dakota's; I can't remember forsure if it was North or South." The census record for Mercer County,New Boston Township, City of New Boston, June 22, 1900 did indicatethat Florence was living with her mother Alice Hand from Ohio, andgrandmother Hannah E. Ross of Pennsylvania, and a brother named Clydewho was three years old at the time. Their birth dates were alllisted as well. [27 Nov 2004, SLJuhl, compiler]
The census for February 9 & 10, 1920, Mercer County, City of NewBoston, both have that Florence's mother is from Iowa, and her fatheris from Illinois. It lists Florence as Head Of House with herchildren Pauline, and Wilbur. Also is listed her brother-n-law Silas,17 yrs. old, a grandmother Lovila, 84 yrs. old, and a brother-n-lawLee, 15 yrs. old, as well. Her husband Lewis Jacobs had just died theyear before in 1919. Florence's daughter Pauline (3 yrs.) and sonWilbur (1 yr.) were living with her and both very young children atthe time. The census lists that their father Lewis Jacobs was born inIllinois. Census dated 9 & 10 Feb. 1920 for City of New Boston,Mercer County, Illinois. [10 April 2006, SLJuhl, compiler]
The census for April 03, 1930, Mercer County, New Boston City, NewBoston Township, again Florence is listed as Head Of House along withher children Pauline R., Wilbur S., Samuel, and Charles D.; the onlydiscrepancy noted in this census is that it's known that Florence wasmarried only twice by this time, however, there is three differentstates listed for "Place of Birth of Father", and Samuel's father islisted as being born in Indiana. Unknown where Andrew Jacobs is atduring the census [28 Nov 2004, SLJuhl, compiler].

In 1915, it's documented in the Mercer County Almshouse RegisterIndex, 1859-1949 that all of Florence's siblings were admitted at thattime to the facility. It is unknown as to how long they stayed.Clide/Clyde was the oldest at 19 years old.

Notes:

It was noted that on the census records Charles Hand is given eitherthe middle initial of B or V at times. So, it is uncertain as towhich is accurate. Except he is listed on two marriage records withthe middle initial "V", on his marriage record to Florence and on hisbrother Hiram's marriage record where he is a witness. The compilerthen addresses the correct middle initial of Charles Hand to be theletter, "V".
In the 1910 census records the family is living with Hannah E. Ross,and Charles is still alive at this time. The compiler has not beenable to find Charles death date as yet. Research continues.
The City of New Boston is on the banks of the Mississippi River, andmay attribute for many occupations that are listed as fisherman,including Charles Hand.

In 1915, it's documented in the Mercer County Almshouse RegisterIndex, 1859-1949 that all of Florence's siblings were admitted at thattime to the facility. It is unknown as to how long they stayed.Clide/Clyde was the oldest at 19 years old. It would seem that thechildren must have been admitted probably about the time of theirfather's death no doubt. It is unknown as to where Alice Hand is atthis time.http://www.cyberdriveillinois.com/departments/archives/mercer.html#copies

"Wind, Rain, and Hail Storm
Oquawka Spectator
19 Jul 1883
The storm that visited this county last Thursday night was the mostsevere in places that we have had for many years. From Mr. HamiltonEvans and Rev. McLeish we learn the following particulars: The stormcommenced between 9 and 10 o'clock, with a north wind blowing, and was2? to 3 miles wide, including one mile on the state road. Mr. E.resides on the east line of the storm, which had spent the most of itsfury before reaching his farm, but damaged growing crops considerably.The crops of John Crane, Green Fryrear, on the George Krauset place.Mrs. Roberts, Oliver Lyons, Jesse Lyons, Michael Heisler and J.Trimmer were almost completely destroyed. Messrs. James O'Leary [cropscompletely destroyed and windows beat out by the hail] Patrick Logan'sgrowing crops destroyed, but a part of his grain had been cut andshucked, from which he will save considerable, Patrick Gray's cropsbadly damaged, as were also those of Mrs. John Kemp, MRs. Jesse Kemp,and Messrs C. Kemp, Wm. White, T. Jeff, Fort and Jo Brown. Olenaprecinct Mrs. Marks, Messrs Jas Dean,, Isaac Nichols and Jo Dixsonsuffered considerably.

In South Henderson precinct Mr. Graham says his corn is injured onethird and ""MRS. TRACY'S"" about on-half, Frank Galbreath was morefortunate than some of the others, having only lost 10 acres of oatsand 15 acres of corn. The hail came down in irregular chunks beatingthe leaves off the trees and cutting the grain to pieces.

The storm Thursday night and Friday was of wide extent sweeping over alarge portion of Illinois, Iowa, Missouri, and Kansas. At Galesburghail fell to the depth of two or three inches and some of it is saidto have been still visible next day at noon."

Notes:

The migration of the family from New York to Wisconsin to Iowa andthen back again to Illinois is evident from the children's birthstates. The Joseph Ross family is listed on the same 1870 census pageas Alfred Hand's family directly below them. The Ross and Handchildren know doubt grew up together in New Boston via what the censusrecords tell us of their where abouts from 1870 onward to 1900. Thearrival of Alfred & Fanny Hand to Mercer County, Illinois must havebeen between 1861 and 1863 from Iowa between the births of Charles B.and Martha I Hand.

*Alfred married Anna Fanny M. Bradley in 1856 in Probably In New York. Anna was born in 1832 in New York; Per 1870 Census; Pennsylvania Per 1910 Census Record Of Son Charles V. Hand; died in Unknown. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

22 April 2006, Obtained a marriage license index at the Essley-NobleMuseum in Aledo, IL., for a Jos. M. Ross-Martha Tipton, Married Jan.17, 1867 by John H. Payton, filed on Feb. 20, 1867 in Mercer County,Illinois, #2235 to be able to obtain a copy of the record at the courthouse; The information was obtained from the original records by theMercer County Historical Society, and is in the Indexed 1832-1890Marriage Book of Mercer County, page 110 at the museum. It wouldseem that this marriage to Martha Tipton is his first marriage,because in the 1870 census his wife is Hannah E. Arnold and theirdaughter is Edna and she is two years old at the time. Edna must befrom his first marriage to Martha and then subsequent children must befrom Hannah E. Arnold, William, Calvin, Alice, and Jamie. Themarriage license for Jos. & Hannah has not been located as yet.
