ROSS A. FILLMORE Daylily Originals

My great-grandmother -- Bena Peters Sorensen Ryan -- was one of a huge family of Iowa farmers.
Most thought of her as the oldest of her siblings, but this was not true. She had an older sister named
Anna who died when she was about 19 or 20. Unfortunately, back then photography was not that
prevalent so there were very few surviving pictures of her. Also, I have as yet been able in my
genealogy research to come up any information as to how she died. Unmarried and no children, and
with very few family members that are even aware she had existed, I thought it would be a nice tribute
to dedicate a flower in her memory.
