Margaret Marion (Marjorie) Crumley Denham

The boy in the upper left is Chester Shumway, the girl in the center in Marjorie Crumley and the girl on the right, Garnette Meadows.  This is a 2nd grade picture in front of the old school building now razed.  1921, Holbrook Arizona. The picture would have been taken after Edythe's death but before the adoption. 

Marjorie had lived with the Denham family for about seven months when she died as the result of an accident on 7 April, 1922.  According to Virginia, a large rock rolled onto Marjorie's foot as she was playing on a hillside, injuring her and she died of blood poisoning.
