FLORENCE EVELYN HUNTINGTON

1916 - 2012

This oehfamily web site is dedicated to Florence Evelyn Huntington. Florence was the biggest supporter of the family web site idea and content. It is amazing that in her later years that she got her P/C and high speed Internet and learned email. She has also read most of the web site.

As the family interest turned to zero, Florence said “Don’t worry just keep the site going. They will come back.” She sent me a pack of photos for scanning. I returned the originals and used her images are in various articles.

Thanks Florence for your support and encouragement.

Send me anything you want posted

Prince and Molly from Ron Huntington 9-20-2009

The team that worked on the J.O. Huntington farm were Prince and Molly. Molly's favorite trick was to put her E-flat foot (which was considerably larger in circumference than a dinner plate) on top of the sneaker clad foot of the 6-year old (said 6 year old helping Dad harness the team) and look around quizzically trying to figure out what all the fuss was about when the six year old was screaming and kicking her with the unencumbered foot. She never transferred enough weight to that foot to break anything,just enough to temporarily restrain the 6 year old!

Lunch with Aunt Florence 9-14-2009

Aunt Florence does not like to have her picture taken so you only get a few chances. She is smiling for the camera ;| This SD picture with Dick, Sherill, and Florence was taken after lunch and we were in the Dakota Pride candy and shipping center. We were sampling Railroad Bill's Cashew Crunch candy. Select ==> Candy Link.

She has not lost her ability to say a lot in a few clear words. Recently she renewed her drivers license. She took the test without glasses and passed. They said they noticed she had glasses and why does she use them. Answer: "To know where they are!" So much for the glasses . . .

She is well and is current on all the world events. She has not bashed Obama yet but is still giving him a chance. She now has a PC with high speed internet but is still learning. She and the mouse do not get along well. She is still connected to WebTV also. She still has her same email Sioux Indian word ID and @knology.net. Use both emails until she has learned the PC.

Not sure of location or date. I am sure that creek water attracts kids. Also that the Indians are right we are Tender Foots. See Video 1 and Video 2 <==Click on Videos

I think these are truly great pictures. I choose to honor them and to see the unique character of these two Uncles that are brothers and children of O. E. Huntington. I miss them . . .
