Notes

    Florence was apparently first married to a Johnson.  A child whose name is written oddly in the census is reported in the 1930 census, as a grandson of Florence's father, Jim W Wright.  It appears to be Tomie, but is transcribed by Ancestry as Tonnie.  But Florence is reported under her maiden name as Florence Wright.  Oklahoma marriage records are not online.

    1930 Federal Census, Garvin County, Oklahoma, 14 April, Brady Township, District 3, page 7A, Hse #111, Fam #112

    Johnson, Tomie Grandson M W 1 OK OK OK

    In the 1940 census, Ancestry transcribed the name of Florence's son as Tonnie and in 1930 as Tohnnie.  I tried hard to make this first letter look like a J to make Johnnie, a common first name for someone named Johnson.  And the spelling in the 1940 census -ohnnie makes it look more like Johnnie.  But I realized soon after that he was mentioned in his stepfather's obituary, and his name there is Tommie.

    Florence Johnson is enumerated in the census with her son and her second husband Clarence Philpot.  They are enumerated next door to Clarence's brother Joseph R Philpot's family, including their father Newton.

    Johnson, Tohnnie Son M W 11 Single Grade  b Oklahoma Rural [county not stated] Texas in 1935

    Tommie's name was confirmed when I realized accidentally that I already had his name in his stepfather's obituary.

    "S Clarence Philpot, Oklahoma City, formerly of Ada, died Saturday night [7 January 1967] in a veterans hospital in Oklahoma City.  He was 70. ... Survivors include his wife, Florence; a step-son, Tommie K Johnson, Ada; two brothers, Joe R, Ada, and Earl Haskell, Garden Grove, California."
