Personal History
I remember my father, Jerry M. Waggoner referring to Marie as his “Aunt Marie”. He was very fond of her.
Marie owned a women’s clothing store called “Ryans” in Salem Illinois.
She married Frank Denny who lived in Vandalia, Illinois and had a prosperous business there. They later divorced in 1947.
