D – Darling Baby Girl

For this year’s A to Z Challenge, I will be posting an event for that date involving someone in my family tree. Of course it will also involve the letter of the day. It may be a birth, a death, a christening, a journal entry, a letter or a newspaper article. If the entry is a news item, it will be transcribed immediately below.

Marilyn and Mary Virginia Elkins. 1954

Thirty four years after the birth of yesterday’s cuddly baby girl, Mary Virginia Graham Elkins gave birth to a darling baby girl. On April 4, 1954 my first cousin, Marilyn Graham Elkins was born to Frank and Mary V. (Graham) Elkins.

Marilyn was the fifth and last grandchild of Mershell and Fannie (Turner) Graham.

  1. Did Marilyn have other siblings, outside of Dee Dee & Barbara? Did y’all all live in Detroit growing up?

    1. Marilyn is the youngest of the three siblings. No others. Yes, we all lived in Detroit and growing up we spent just about every summer Saturday and holiday at our grandparents. Playing in the yard most times or sometimes inside. Sort of like you and your cousins, for years we lived a few blocks from each other and went to the same elementary school.
