Marion and Mary evidently remained on close terms long after Prof. Norton's death. Jessie and Albert included in their household Jessie's mother Marion - and for long stretches of time, sister Daisy, sister Mae, and brother Paul. Writing to that Marion at that household in 1915, Mary sends a bit of poetry she believes brother Henry B wrote about his wife and writes on the back: "I am glad that you have had the glorious privilege of seeing the exposition so often but I think the year must have been a strenuous one for you with the coming and going of old friends - come down and rest. By the 10th my roomers will all be gone and I shall have an extra bedroom." Marion in her own right was an educated woman who contributed much to her community. She was invited by the Chautauqua society to present a paper, she was a board member and trustee of various historical organizations in San Francisco and, for many years, was involved in the education efforts of the Calvary Presbyterian Church there. Charmingly she wrote many letters to friends in rhyming verse - in quatrains. I have included a couple of reprints. EveIything in Marion's scrapbooks is securely pasted down so it is not possible to remove anything. The 1912 brochure on the museum is the only item clearly related to your search. I have also included a portrait of Prof Norton since he was connected with the Museum as well. I have several copies of this portrait which leads me to believe that you probably have one too. In any case I will send it along. Good luck with unearthing the history of the museum, Sincerely, G .< r.1 0 2>4.004 LMAU 44. g« a,# -26. 'der 004£u*" 0% 11«0»eu F4.004 LMAU 44. g« a,# -26.
