  Florence is listed in a family genealogy as Sallie Florence Mince.  The 1920 census reports her name as Florence S.  The order of names is sometimes reversed like this where the middle name is used as the primary name.  ON her grave, for instance, her name is S Florence Jones.  I will follow the genealogy for the order of the name.  It is also possible that her full name is Sarah Florence, since Sallie is the common nickname for Sarah.
  
  Note that here her birth state is reported as Tennessee, though in 1900 it is Mississippi and 1910 it was Tennessee.  The 1880 census, when she was reported as a 6-month old, her family was living in Mississippi, but here birth place was reported as Tenenssee.  This is report so close to her birth is likely the correct one.
