  Notes for Marcie Gladys Robertson:
Marcie lived on a century farm in Coloma, MO. When David and I visited her before her 90th birthday we made a video of her. We also made one on her 90th birthday.

We made an earlier video of her with Laila Miles Babb, a double cousin. Laila and Marcie talked about the sites where relatives lived, old schools and churches.

In her home Marcie had many charming items that had wonderful stories. David and I were guests that were privileged to sleep in the bed that was made extra long for Maben. I think the bed was one made shortly after they were married.

Her home had been in Maben's family for a long time. Maben and Marcie lived south of Coloma in different locations. They moved to the farm in 1946.

Marcie and Laila identified most of the family in a 1914 reunion photo. Marcie kept a genealogy on the family that she shared with Laila and daughter, Beverly.
Others also visited Marcie to get information about the family in MO.
