Josephine Merrow
Flavious wasn't the only Merrow to serve their country during the First World War. Josephine Gertrude Merrow (1891-1949), sister to Flavious and Margaret, was a US Army Nurse.
Here she is wearing her uniform while visiting the Raymo family in Chattanooga in 1919. Josephine never married, spending her entire adult life as a nurse at various VA hospitals. She eventually ended up in Ohio where she died in 1949 at the age of only 57.
As she was a veteran of the First World War, she was accorded a burial at Dayton National Cemetery (Section 7 Row 6 Site 6) in Dayton, Ohio.

My grandfather, Chester Theodore Raymo (1909-1974), aged 3 months, photographed in June 1909 in Dearborn, Michigan. He was born on 27 March 1909, a little over 101 years ago.
Chester again, in 1910, with his aunt Josephine Merrow (1891-1949). Margaret's sister, Josephine, as per the census record taken that year, was living with the Raymos in their house on Garrison Avenue in Dearborn.
