Gordon Francis, son of Marion F. Horton, with his mother's pictures.
Marion as a little girl with her grandfather.
Her middle name, Frances, came from her grandfather's name. Marion was born in 1905 and brought up in Swansea. She attended Durfee High School in Fall River. Her family moved to Rehoboth (81 Martin St. - now 103 Martin St.) around 1915. Her sisters attended Case High School. She went on to Hyannis Normal School to become a school teacher.

To her left (our right) is Raymond Reed (the tall boy). Raymond Reed was the biggest boy in the school and sat at the farthest seat in the back of the room to the right. He, like other boys, helped bring in the wood. Raymond Reed, who was well behaved, married Ruth, Marion Horton's younger sister.
