Life History of MARY FARLEY MARRIOTT continued by MADELEINE MARRIOTT HARROP In that my mother never finished writing her history, I will fill in information where she left off. Much of the following information was related to me by her or observed first hand. Mother was of light complexion, clear light skin, medium brown natural curly hair.
