LaFlex, Leander

Lt. Leander La Flex who was WI born and had died in a plane crash. Since LaFlex is not a common name and it also appears in my genealogy I decided to see if I could connect the ties to my family. I talked with a cousin, George LaFex (a N.Y. spelling variation of the same family line) and he suggested I contact Roger LaFlex who is currently in his 80's for additional information. Roger now lives in Menasha, WI, but lived in Clark Co. all his life the greater share of his life. Well, Leander was his brother!

holding his 6 month old daughter, Bonnie. She was just 6 months old when he died 2 Feb. 1945.

Roger LaFlex also provided the picture below, of his father and the siblings taken between 24 Sept 1952 and 1961.

Right to left is Roger , Ellen, Leander Leonard 1886-1974 (Dad), Lenore, Russell, Viola, Delbert and Deloris.

Not pictured is Leonard (d. 1945).

Roger writes, " This picture was taken between Sept 24, 1952 and 1961. Mother was born Feb 3, 1896. She died Sept 24, 1952, age 57 years. Delbert died 1961." It was taken in Clark Co., but he isn't sure where.
