Florence Helen Kluss was born near Postville May 4, 1894, and with her mother, sister and brother moved to boulder, Colorado, in 1908, where she was educated, graduating from the University of Colorado in 1916. On Aug. 31, 1920, she was united in marriage with Dr. Howard Holden Cook of Brooklyn, N. Y. , and on Sunday, March 20, 1921, she died at her home in Dover, New Jersey.
