Birth*circa June 1882 Florence Rorer was born circa June 1882 in Lahaska, Bucks, PA. The birth date listed on the Death Certificate was 15 Jun 1886. Her birth date on her Social Security Applications and Claims Index was 15 Jun 1881; that is the year on the tombstone. Both dates contradict her birth listed in the 1900 census which was Jun 1882. Use this date since that was closer to the actual event than the information given later.1,2,3,4 
 She was the daughter of Edward Rorer and Alvesta E. Adams. 
Event-Misc*27 April 1899 "Miss Florence Rorer, a student at West Chester, returned to her home at Lahaska on Sunday for the summer vacation."5 
Event-Misc2 January 1900 "EUCHRE and MUSIC. Miss Florence Rorer entertained a few of her friends at her home in Lahaska on Thursday evening, December 28th. While some of the guests enjoyed playing euchre, all enjoyed the delightful vocal and instrumental music by Miss Rorer and Miss Atkinson. Elegant refreshments of cake, fruit and confectionary were served. Those present were: Mr. and Mrs. Edward Rorer, Mr. and Mrs. Harry Wilkinson, Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Wilkinson, Miss Annie Shaw, Miss Helen Cathers, Miss Eleanor Dudbridge, Miss Eva Atkinson, Walter Rorer, Russell Rorer, Robert Rorer."6 
(with Parents) Census 19007 June 1900 She appeared on the 1900 Federal Census of Buckingham, Bucks, PA, in the household of her parents, Edward Rorer and Alvesta E. Adams. She had attended school for nine months.2 
Occupationbetween 1901 and 1902 She was teaching school in Lahaska, Bucks, PA between 1901 and 1902.7 
Marriage*29 August 1906 She married Henry William Hebb on 29 August 1906 at Church of the Epiphany, Philadelphia, PA.8 
Census 1910*15 April 1910 Florence and Henry appeared on the 1910 Federal Census of Manhattan Ward 16, New York, NY, at 159 W. 22nd Street, enumerated 15 April 1910. The couple were lodgers. Henry was a dry goods salesman.9 
(Witness) Death11 July 1919 By 11 July 1919, Florence was residing in Springfield, Clark, Ohio. She provided the information for the death certificate of Edward Rorer, her father.10 
(Executor) Probate17 July 1919 She was an executor and heir of Edward Rorer's estate. She was to receive one-third of her father's estate.11 
Census 1920*13 January 1920 On 13 January 1920, Florence and Henry were living at 20 W. Perrin Avenue, Springfield.Henry was a furniture salesman. The couple lived in a rented home.12 
Census 1930*2 April 1930 Florence and Henry had moved to Madison Road, Cincinnati, Hamilton, OH by 2 April 1930. Henry owned a furniture store. Their home was rented. The census listed a fourteen year old daughter, Florence Hebb. The 1920 census did not include a four year old daughter.13 
Compiler's Comment* The compiler believes the daughter, Florence R. Hebb, listed in the 1930 census of the Hebb household is actually the orphaned Florence Rorer, daughter of Robert and Elsie Rorer. The daughter in the 1930 census is 14 years old, the right age to be Florence Rorer. Also, Florence and Henry Hebb did not list any children in the 1920 census when Florence would have been about four years old. Florence Rorer was living with her maternal grandparents in the Buckingham 1920 census. It would make sense for the childless Hebb couple to take in the orphaned niece, named for her Aunt Florence Hebb. An indication of the close relationship between Florence Rorer and Florence Rorer Hebb is that the informant for Florence Hebb's death certificate was Florence R. Tomlinson who listed her parents on her marriage certificate as Robert Rorer and Elsie Harding. Thus, the compiler concludes that Florence Rorer, daughter of Robert and Elsie Rorer, born 1916, and Florence R. Hebb on the 1930 census are the same individual. 
Residence*1931 Florence and Henry lived at Jacksonville, FL, in 1931.14 
Occupation* According to her death certiicate, Florence Rorer had worked as a section manager in a department store.15 
Death*15 May 1947 She died on 15 May 1947 at Bristol Pike, Corwells Heights, Bensalem, Bucks, PA. She had been residing at 4734 Cedar Avenue, Philadelphia. She was a widow. She died of cardiac arrest and pneumonia following a fracture of her right tibia. She had been struck by an automobile on 04 Apr 1947 at the corner of 11th and Ludlow in Philadelphia.16 
Obituary*18 May 1947 Her death was was recorded in an Obituary on 18 May 1947 "DIED-HEBB- of Phila., PA, suddenly, May 15, 1947, at Cornwells Heights, FLORENCE R.
