On This Day - Januaray 8
MARJORIE VIRGINIA NOLTING was born 123 years ago on January 8, 1896 in Clay County, Indiana to William Henry Harrison Nolting (1866-1928) and Alma Shaw (1867-1932). She was the first of four children. William had immigrated from Germany with his parents in 1844. Marjorie married Carl Wayne Gillespie on 3 Apr 1914, in Clay County, Indiana. Shortly after their marriage they moved to Terre Haute, Indiana. Wayne was a salesman for an auto company. Four children were born while living in Terre Haute. By the 1930 census the family was living in 1930. Wayne was a salesman for a furniture company. One more son was born in Colorado. Marjorie died at age 56 in Denver, Colorado. Her husband died 10 years later.
My interest in genealogy began when I was only 10 years old. I was lucky that there were family members who had done research and shared it with the cousins. Then my parents, after they retired, also sought out relatives and handed down piles of paper. I was the one that put all the names and dates into a genealogy program - back in the old days when floppy discs were still popular. Now I'm retired and attempting to add the stories to all the dates.
