Florence was a silent film actress who got her start as Mary Pickford's body double. After her retirement from acting in 1927 she was still involved in the industry through her friendships and marriages.

She was married (in order) to:

Charles A Smith (1922-????) (presumably divorced)
Lee Ashton Dearhold (1926-1934) (divorced)
Edgar Rice Burroughs (1935-1941) (divorced)
Albert Stillman Chase (1942-????) (presumably divorced as he remarried in 1954 and she remarried in 1957)
Gilmore Tillman (1957-1974) (his death)

She had two children with Ashton Dearhold, son Lee and daughter Caryl Lee (AKA Cindy Cullen or Christy Cullen), who were adopted by Albert Chase after their marriage.

The only place I found Gilmore Tillman listed was on her IMDB page, but her last name was Tillman when she died in 1991, and I have found a Gilmore Tillman who lived in Los Angeles and died in 1974, so I assume he was her husband.

I have no way of knowing whether her ashes were actually scattered at the Exposition Park Rose Garden, or if they were done so legally if that was the case. The book Resting Places by Scott Wilson mentions on page 278 that her ashes were scattered at Angeles Abbey Memorial Park or (per her website, which I have not been able to find) scattered at Exposition Park. Given the circumstances I'm not sure if there is any way to find out which of the two places is correct.
