Florence was the first born child of Warren & Mary Crist Mack of Herkimer, New York. She was born at the height of the Civil War while her father was serving in the 152nd New York State Volunteer Infantry.

Warren Mack had begun the war as 1st Lieutenant of Co. G, 34th New York State Volunteer Infantry. He was 39 years old in May 1861 and a veteran of the Mexican War. While serving near Washington, he resigned in December 1861 due to family matters. His mother, Statina Mack, had passed in April 1861 and his father Warren Mack II was 72 years old and required assistance. He returned to Herkimer and a few months later married Mary Crist Mack, who was 21. Compelled by war and with Mary at home, he enlisted in the summer of 1862 as a Private in the 152nd NYVI and served as such through the remainder of the war.

Although Warren was hospitialized periodically it's not apparent that he returned home until war's end. In fact, Florence was born 1/11/1863, nine months and 2 days from the date of Warren & Mary's wedding on 4/9/1862.
The 1865 census of the town of Herkimer recorded: Warren Mack age 74, born in MA; Josiah age 52, born in Herkimer a son; Warren Jr. age 43, born in Herkimer, a son, a carpenter; Sophia age 32, born in Herkimer, a daughter; Mary A., age 25, born in Herkimer, a daugher-in-law; Byron, age 5, born in Herkimer, a grand-son; Florence, 29 mo., born in Herkimer, a grand-daughter.
After the death of his father, Warren Mack III sold the house and land in Herkimer. Warren and Mary moved to Iowa between the sale of the property in April 1868 and the birth of Charles Mack in Brooklyn, IA in September 1871.
Warren's uncle and aunt, Guildroy & Frances Mack Littlefield were living in Brooklyn, IA at the time. There were also many Macks living nearby.
By March 1878, the family was in south eastern Iowa in the town of Pittsburg, Van Buren Co. In 1881, the family made the final big move to a farm near Colon, NE. It was not an easy life and Mary Mack died in 1889. The children lived with their grandparents the Crists.
