Family History

Marjorie

My Dad told me that on a beautiful "September Morn," Saturday September 1, 1917 to be exact, at 5:10 A.M., I Marjorie was born at the home of my grandparents, Daniel J. Millard and Anna Sofia Anderson, 30 Windsor Lane, Sierra Madre, L.A. Calif. My parents Charles William Millard and Grace Pauline Lackey and my brother Daniel Cecil Millard all welcomed me into the family circle. Grandma took care of us and when Mama was able we returned to the home of my parents in Los Angeles, at 986 E. 52 Place.

My Family and the families of all my parents brothers and sisters were all very close. They all loved to go camping and had many wonderful times together at the mountains and the beaches. My Grandpa and Grandma Millards' home was often the scene of family gatherings as my Mama lost her father before she was married.

On the 12 of November, at the close of World War I my Mama died as the result of the flu epidemic at that time. She was only 27 years old, my brother who was born April 22, 1913 was 4½ years old and I was 14 months old. She was buried in the Odd Fellows Cemetary, 3640 Whittier Blvd., Los Angeles. My daddy also had the flu and the Doctor wouldn't let him
