[edit] Adultery

The article seems to insinuate that Florence was an adultress, but doesn't come out and say it. Whats that about? Also she sure doesn't look like a 100% cherokee... (Sam Spade | talk | contributions) 16:54, 26 Feb 2005 (UTC)

A full blood Cherokee Indian, from Oklahoma, Florence, in 1917, married Cleo Owens, a farmer

Cleo lost his job in 1931 and the family moved to Oroville in Northern California, where Cleo joined his sisters and brothers working in the fields picking peaches. Cleo died soon after moving, at age 32, from a high fever and was buried there. At Cleo's death Florence was expecting a child. During the next two years, Florence stayed around Oroville while her husband's family followed the crops around the state returning to winter at Oroville. In 1933, Florence informed them that she was expecting. The whole family was in a uproar, but Florence never told who the father was.
