1920 Census, FL, Lake Co., Leesburg, fam. 392, Harriet W. Edmunds, 78, born VA, parents born VA, with husband, residing with the Ralph family(probably renters?), next door to the Minos Ebenezer Miller family.
Mary's handwritten autobiography (found by Sandra Newton Mille Lassen, 1976, in a box of 1946 cancelled checks in Veranda Hse Apts.): "My mother (i.e., Harriet) moved to Hampden-Sidney when I was quite young and ran a boarding house for college boys and taught music lessons...When my mothers parents died we moved to the old Venable home "Scott Green" where we lived until I was married in 1894....my mothers hands were more than full - a large family - an invalid husband, boarders and a music class."
Transcription of notes of Harriet Ann Venable (undated) from papers of her namesake, Harriet Venable Miller:
"Just before the Civil war began Henry Watkins Edmunds joined the military company and was elected corporal. First fight got into he was wounded, captured and paroled. Came home and went to courting. Got engaged to Harriet Ann Venable. He was young and strong and vigorous and thought he could take care of a wife all right, but a short time after this engagement he was exchanged and volunteered the second time and joined a cavalry co. 3rd VA Cavalry, Fitz. Lee's Brigade, J.E.B. Stuart's division, and was severely wounded at Kelly's Ford, Culpepper Co., VA, and returned home. His father sent for Dr. Mettener, a noted surgeon who when he saw him, said it would take several years for his wound to heal (it took six years to heal). He also said that unless he had pneumonia or pleurisy his wound would not shorten his days, but that he would always be short-winded and never able to do continuous hard work.
He then wrote to his sweetheart, Hattie Venable and told her what the doctor had said and telling her as he could not ask her to sacrifice her life to the helpless cripple that he was, felt that he would not be able to take care of her, that he would make no complaint if she should cancel the engagement between them. She replied at once that the engagement should not be broken and if he could not take care of her she could and would take care of him, which she did for 59 years.
In 1914 we celebrated our Golden Wedding and John D. Rockefellow (sic) celebrated his the same day and I feel that I have left my children with a better legacy by having such a mother and her example and precept than if I had had all of John D.'s wealth to leave them."

Landon Cabell Flournoy, Attorney-at-law, of Morganfield, is the son of William Cabell and Marha [Martha] Watkins (Venable) Flournoy. His father, a lawyer of Prince Edward County, Va., was born at Union Hill, Nelson County, Va., in 1808, married in Prince Edward County, Va., in 1834, and died there in March, 1861. Mr. Flournoy's mother was born in Prince Edward County, Va., in 1816, and is still living. His grandfather, John James Flournoy, of Prince Edward County, married Ann Cabell, of Union Hill, Nelson County. His maternal grandparents, William and Fannie (Nance) Venable, were both natives of Prince Edward County, Va. Mr. Flournoy's ancestry runs back into the Huguenot refugees, who fled from France to this country early in the seventeenth century.
Our subject was born in Farmsville [Farmville], Prince Edward County, Va., March 4, 1850. He received some eight years training in the "old field schools" of Virginia, and then went to Hampden Sidney College, where he completed a four-years' course. On January 15, 1873, he came to Union County. He taught schools in the terms of 1873-4 and 1874-5; he had, previous to this, taught in Boone County, and he has always been a most acceptable teacher, doing good work, and possessing rare skill as an instructor; he held the office of School Commissioner for some time, and made an efficient public servant in that capacity. In the spring of 1875, he began reading law, and in October, 1875, was admitted to practice in the Union County bar. Since then he has been employed in a general civil and criminal practice in this county.
On February 27, 1877, he was married to Mattie Givens, in Uniontown. She was the daughter of Thomas R. and Elizabeth Martin Givens; born December 7, 1857, and died in Leesburg, Florida, on May 9, 1884. Bessie Venable, Sallie Wright and Martha Watkins are the children born of this union.
Mr. Flournoy has 202 acres of land east of Morganfield, all of which is cultivated and rented. He has been a member of the Presbyterian Church for ten years, and is now a deacon in that denomination; he is a Mason, and holds the office of genial gentleman, possessed of a large fund of anecdote and with all the qualities that go to make a popular man, and he will undoubtedly rise high in his profession.
Landon married Susan Cabell Cobbs on 3 May 1888 in Sutherlin, Halifax County, Virginia, USA. Susan (daughter of John F. Cobbs and Mary P. Flournoy) was born on 5 Nov 1864 in Danville, Virginia, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
