fever, chicken pox, measles, a tonsillectomy, and scarlet fever just six weeks before graduation from high school. In spite of these health problems, she recalls her childhood as a happy one. She enjoyed a deep sense of love and security from her parents and family. Her father always provided well for his family. He would acquire large stalks of bananas, bushels of apples and fall produce for winter storage. Even during the times of depression, especially during the 1930's when people were economically, mentally, and emotionally devastated from the loss of work, homes, and savings, Charles always amply provided the necessities of life and with determination came through the crises well. At one time, due to her health problems, Madeleine was questioned by her parents and school officials as to whether she felt she could continue on in school. They realized that this was a decision that she must make on her own. She finally made the decision to continue on in regular day school rather than to postpone her education. She finished grade school at Mound Fort and entered North Junior High School which was located in the same building. She was always grateful that she made the decision to continue as it led to her graduation from Ogden High School in June of 1928. That fall, she attended Weber College for one year. Later she took additional classes at Weber and extension classes at Utah State. A vacation to Los Angeles resulted in her accepting a position as a office receptionist for two physicians and a dentist. Their office was located at 6636 Hollywood Boulevard in the heart of the movie capital of the world. This proved to be an exciting and interesting experience. On her return to Ogden, Madeleine enrolled in the first class of the Weber School of Beauticians affiliated with Weber College. She received her diploma at the Weber College Commencement Exercises May 26, 1933. She accepted work at the fashionable Darrell's Beauty Shop located in the First Security Bank Building. Some years later she was an instructor at the Superior Beauty School. Through a blind date to a Gold and Green Ball held in the Berthana Ballroom, she met her husband William Vern Harrop, son of William Aaron Harrop and Maggie Dortina Iverson Harrop. Vern and Madeleine were married on June 6, 1934 at 1208 Porter Avenue. About two years later Madeleine and Vern were married in the Salt Lake LDS Temple. Knowing of Madeleine's plans to marry, Orion and Charlotte offered their beautiful new home in Ogden Canyon for them to live in. Orion and Charlotte had been transferred to San Francisco, California, with the Southern Pacific Railroad. Whenever Charlotte and Orion came home for visits, they stayed with Madleine and Vern and were able to enjoy their lovely home. Madeleine and Vern enjoyed this beautiful home and its unique surrounding for nine wonderful years until Vern entered the service during World War Two. Vern was a professional musician and a lithographer by trade. While he was in the service, he arranged for Madeleine to live with her parents knowing she would have their first child while he was away. Within a month after Vern was released from the service, Charles Marriott passed away. His widow, Mary, requested that Vern's family continue to live with her in the family home on Porter. This was a rewarding experience for Vern and Madeleine as well as their children. Madeleine cared for her mother until she passed away on September 18, 1957. Shortly
