The LaFlex Family


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!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

He sent me Leander's picture and obit as well the photo above of Leander

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.
