Marvel Before Elmer
(1918 - 1940)
Marvel’s brother, Lorne, shared memories of his sister, Marvel.
“Marvel’s younger brother, Lorne, Remembers Marvel. These sweet stories from their childhood were told to his wife, Janet, in December 2003.”
Circa 1920. Marvel with her dog, Brownie. Her dad, Daniel Hahn, is in the background working on a window to the family home.
l-r: Florence & Lucille Hahn (daughters of Leora (Stewart) & Lincoln Hahn); Mildred Day (daughter of Eva (Stewart) & Wesley Day); Marvel Hahn (daughter of Ethel (Stewart) & Dan Hahn).
The Stewart Sisters had one brother - Freddie. Lincoln & Dan are brothers who married sisters Leora & Ethel making their children double cousins.
I'm guessing the dolls were Christmas presents. Marvel, our mother/grandmother, would've been 4 or 5 years old.

The Stewart first cousins circa 1922/1923.
