Flossie was the second child born to Isaiah Bliley and Mary Regina Keyser, who married on 19 Mar. 1896. Her siblings were Ira (1896-1966), (Flossie here in 1899), Ruth (b.1903) and Raymond (b.1907).

Sometime before 1920, Flossie married Leroy M. Crum. A family tree on One World Tree gave a marriage date in Dec. 1917 but I couldn't find a record. Flossie appears with Leroy on the 1920 census, living in North Township, which is today part of Plymouth, Indiana. She may have been expecting their first child as Dale I. (1921-1936) was born in 1921. Four other children followed--Virgina L. in 1922, Pauline J. in 1927, Carl E. circa 1928, and Elnora (1935-1935). They appear on the 1930 census, still living in the same area. I was also able to find them on the 1940 census but only Pauline and Carl were still living at home with their parents. Dale had died in 1936 and Virginia was living with, and working as a "hired girl" doing light housekeeping, for Albert and Iva Sherk and their four children in German Twp.

Leroy died in 1966, Flossie six years later in 1972 at age 73.
