1. The Marshall Family
The baby Mary Eliza Marshall is holding is my Mother, Rosa Adabelle Marshall Sandlin. This was a wonderful family and I have a complete genealogy starting from this photo. My Mother loved her family and told many family stories of life in Glencoe.

Editor's Note: Thank you for sharing this information about the family on the marker.
