The Browne School Teachers - 1909/1910: Florence Horn

Following Ethel Mae Mosher who taught at the Browne school the previous school year, Florence Horn taught at the Browne school for the school year 1909 - 1910. 

Florence Louise Horn was born April 30, 1899 in DeKalb county, Illinois.   The 1890 US Census was destroyed by fire and does not exist.     In the 1900 US Census, Florence was living (lines 1 - 8) with with her parents, Anthony and Sophia (Huber) and her siblings Francis, Albert, Ralph, Elsie and Ruth in DeKalb township, DeKalb county, Illinois.


By the time of the 1910 US Census, Florence was still living (lines 41 - 44) in DeKalb township, DeKalb county, Illinois with her parents, Anthony and Sophia and Florence's younger sister, Ruth.     Florence taught at the Browne school during the 1909 - 1910 school year however the census doesn't list employment for her.


Sometime following the end of the school year in 1910, Florence moved to California.  She is listed on the 1912 - 1918 voter registration rolls for California in precinct #4,  Lodi, San Joaquin county, California.    The entry for Florence is located on line 182 and her profession is 'teaching'.


The 1913 directory for Lodi, California lists Florence Horn as a principal of Emerson school.




On March 21, 1917, Florence married Walker P Bryan in Alhambra, Los Angeles county, California.   The marriage license confirms Florence is a teacher, was born in DeKalb, Illinois and her parents were Anthony Horn and Sophia Huber.


By 1920, according to the US Census, Florence was living (lines 9 - 10) in Oakland, Alameda county, California with husband Walker Bryan.   The census does not list an occupation for Florence so I have been unable to confirm whether she was teaching at the time the census was taken.


In 1930, the US Census indicates Florence (Horn) Bryan and her husband Walker were living (lines 82 - 83) in Los Angeles, Los Angeles county, California.   The census states Florence was employed as a public school teacher.


By 1940, Florence and husband Walker had moved (lines 9 - 10) to Pasadena, Los Angeles county, California.   Florence is employed as a public school teacher.


Four years later, Florence Louise (Horn) Bryan passed away October 14, 1944 in Los Angeles county, California.
