Family Names Connected With Flowers

 When I began journaling about the theme on flowers, I couldn’t think of any thing that connected flowers with my family. I see that flowers are displayed, given and sent during major occasions in life such as on Memorial Day, Funerals, Valentine’s Day, May Day, Mother’s Day, Weddings, and birthdays. But, how to connect flowers with the family tee?

I thought about it and dug a little deeper. I was searching through some of the female names on my family tree. There are a few flower names. Then I started googling. And came up with names that were inspired by flowers. I was surprised to see those name.

I compiled a list of names from my family tree that were inspired by flowers near the end of this blog. I took the photo of the flowers. The flowers were my birthday gift.



I was thinking about my Great Aunt Lillie (Blakey) Hayes. She was the daughter of Private Isaac Blakey Sr. (1845 – 1917) and Rachel (Lephriidge / Jackson) Blakey 1857 – 1916). Lillie was my Grandfather John Blakey Blakley’s half sister.

Lillie was one of 18 children. In 1906, she married Edward Hayes ( 1884 – 1958). She was 17 and he was 21. To this union there were two daughters: Edna Verles Hayes Yancey (1906 – 1929) and Dorothy Hayes.

In the beginning, I couldn’t discover much on Lillie. She was a brick wall until I began to explore the censuses and the news papers. She was listed on the 1900 Missouri census as Susie Blakey at age 12.

I discover an article about Lillie when she was living in Yankton, South Dakota. She was a women of God. She was a worshiper. “Sister Lillie Hayes whom God has so called to go out and carry his word.”

Through the years, I continue to search for more information about Lillie. It was in 2018, when I came across Lillie in the newspapers from Sioux City, Iowa. It was her 1934 death notice. This was a breakthrough. I thought she passed later on in life.

Another article stated that Lillie was sick a few days. And that she passed after having an operation. She was 46 years old. She left behind her husband, Edward Hayes. And six brothers, Isaac, Henry and Spencer all from Yankton, South Dakota; Ollie, Lawhorn and Archie all from Sacramento, California and two sisters, Mrs. Mary Green and Mrs. Edna Bentley both from Yankton, South Dakota. There were no children nor grandchildren listed.


Lillie was listed on the 1920 South Dakota census as having two daughters; Edna Hayes and Dorothy Hayes. Edna passed in 1929 in Sioux City, Iowa at the age of 22. Little is known about Dorothy.

Something interesting I found out about Lillie’s Hayes Connections:
Her husband Edward’s brother, Ernest “Jap” Hayes (1886 – 1968) married Lille’s sister Martha (( Blakey) Hayes *1889 – 1918). I didn’t see that connection until I saw Edward and William (who was Ernest) listed on the same 1900 Missouri census with their parents. What a small world!

Spring isn’t far off for those of us in the northern hemisphere, and with that comes thoughts of flowers — which, not coincidentally, is this week’s theme! Any Roses, Daisys, or Petunias in the family? What about a family member who had a real green thumb? Be creative with this theme!
