My father’s name was Flave Gibbs

The name actually came from Flavius Fletcher Spencer – married to Alice Lynwood Harris, why I put Addie Harris (unconsciously) in my grandmother’s name during our collecting this information, however erroneous it was as her maiden name is Hall.   Flavius F. Spencer died about 8 years before my father was born.   Must have acquired it via some association such as his store.

I am not sure where this idea of lifting and taking people’s things came from.   I have been under the impression cleaning and sorting was done at Masonic meetings, not its original intent either.
