edited: The company is not listed in the 1947 Lakeland City Directory.
It is listed, just not in bold like in 1950, which is why I missed it first time around.
and not as many officers listed.

1950 Directory
Florida Favorite Fertilizer Inc

Shellyesq - maybe looking for coincidences here, and I'm really not familiar with USA marriage certificates... On the marriage certificate halfway down is the certification signing etc. There it has Ada Robinson Emma Smith and the word 'companed'?. Does anyone know what this means or who this person could have been or been recorded for? Am wondering if this could have been her sister? Am I putting 2+2 together and coming up with 5 or is this a realistic possibility?

Ada Robinson is not Ada Annie Wilson.

Newspapers.com marriage index
Ada H Brown, 22, married Martin S Robinson in Santa Ana about 1926

1930 Census, Santa Ana
Ana H Robinson, 26, lodger/head, married (but not with her husband), born in Colorado, father in Illinois, mother in Louisiana, typist, county court house

I am now having doubts that James F Reilly is the right person.  I have his death as 11 December 1889 not 1892 and have no record of him having a middle name initial being F
a lot of people didn't know when they were born. or information on later records were provided by someone else.
The informant on his death record was his sister. How many James Reillys in Cincinnati had a sister named Mrs Eli Franks?
He might have added the initial when he got to America to distinguish himself from half a dozen other James Rileys in whatever city he landed in.

his birth, maybe
Superintendent Registrar's District Tuam, RD: Dunmore, Galway
11 December 1889, in Mooneenpollagh (?)
James, son of Patrick a laborer, of that townland, and Mary Reilly formerly Hunt. informant: the mother

You'd have to look for the other known children of this couple in this area to tie it all together and be sure you have the right person. Townland spelling could be Mooreenpollagh also. The spelling probably changed over the years also.

parents' marriage, maybe
10 June 1877, R.C. chapel of Dunmore, Registrar's District: Dunmore, Tuam, Galway
Patrick Reiley, laborer, of Castlefaran, father Thomas, a land holder
Mary Hunt, spinster, of Carrowuseen ? father: Thady Hunt, deceased, a land holder
both of full age
wittnesses: Bridget Prendergast and Michael Mitchel

https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/marriage_returns/marriages_1877/11144/8081799.pdf

someone mentioned Tuam in connection with this family, I think. This is the only marriage of a Patrick Riley and Mary Hunt anywhere in Ireland from 1865 to 1892.

James F. Reilly
BIRTH 1892 Ireland
DEATH 7 Oct 1952
Cincinnati, Hamilton County, Ohio, USA
BURIAL Calvary Cemetery Cincinnati, Hamilton County, Ohio, USA
PLOT Sec. C Lot 164 MEMORIAL ID 204968099

https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/204968099/james-f-reilly

his sister Mary Franks' findagrave page, already posted, says she was the daughter of Patrick and Mary Hunt Riley


-------------
I think "married, living separate from his wife" might explain the reason for the story that he got hit by a trolley and died. Easier than saying he just left.

James Reilly's marital status was M7 = married, living apart from his wife.
