Florence Emma Bailey and Harold Adams Pennell (1891-1980) were married Dec. 12, 1915 at Chebeague Island, ME. They had one daughter, Priscilla Alder Pennell who died Nov. 17, 1916 at Portland, ME of acute bronchitis, age 24 days. Harold and Florence were still married in June of 1917, but were separated or divorced before the 1920 census was taken. In the 1920 census Florence was listed as Florence Pennell, but by the time the 1930 census was taken she had taken back her maiden name Bailey. She went as Florence Bailey the remainder of her life. That is what she was called in her biography listed on FAG.
