Photograph of Charles, Rebecca and Floy Brown in front of their house. The back of the photo reads “Mama, papa, and Floy at home last summer”, most likely written by Harriet or Frances, Charles and Rebecca’s other two daughters. The railing and posts on the front porch are probably the exact same as they are to this day.
Floy Miles Brown was the third and youngest daughter of Charles and Rebecca Brown. Born February 15, 1879, Floy lived her whole life in Vancouver. She married fellow Vancouver citizen Will DuBois, member of the prominent pioneer DuBois family of Vancouver. Floy passed away on September 28, 1975 and her obituary below appeared in The Columbian the following day. An interesting fact: According to Floy’s granddaughter Anne Hurley, Floy owned the very first automobile in Vancouver.
