She was a painter of roses. I bought a painting on ebay by Florence H. Yerger. Does anyone know anything about her? She was in Pennsylvania.

Florence Yerger grew up on Germantown Ave and Johnson street in the Germantown section of Philadelphia. She was a butcher at her parents stand at the Reading Terminal Market in Philadelphia. She was a good friend of my father's and on my parent's 4th anniversary in 1950 he commissioned her to paint something to surprise my mother. I have always loved the painting of roses and lilacs and unfortunately my sister put her claim to it. Florence Yerger never married and her niece who was best of friends with my dad's sister is about to turn 90 soon. I look for her paintings every now and then and sorry to have missed out on it.
