Lucy Flanders

b. abt. 1863
d. before 1890

Wife of Oscar Peabody Flanders,
Married November 7, 1880
Daughter of Franklin McLain and Nancy Purcell McLain
Mother of Sons Augustus and Frank

Contributors Note:

Lucy was my Great Grandmother and even tho I know a great deal about her parents, her Husband and her Sons, Lucy is still a mystery to me.

After many years of researching these roots I still only can speculate about her short life.

I know from the 1880 Census that she was 17 years old, she married shortly after in the same year which gives me an approx. birth date.

I know her last child, my Grandfather was born in 1887. I know that her Husband Oscar re-married in 1900 so she died before that date.

Also, after searching for her burial site for many years I have come to the conclusion that she must be buried here, in Equality, thus, I'm entering her memorial today with an almost 100% belief that this is the right thing to do.

Rest in Peace Grandma Lucy
