Marshall James Small

This page is about my maternal grandfather,Marshall James Small.



The journalling reads:

Marshall James Small was born on April 26, 1910 in Jackson, NY, and died December 20, 1972 in Cambridge, NY when 62 years old. He was the son of Alfred Maxwell Small and Margaret Arnott (Oviatt) Small. He had only one younger brother, Donald.

Marshall did not graduate from high school. He transferred from Salem High School to Cambridge High School after his second year. He then dropped out school in April 1929. He had been active in the Boy Scouts of America.

He later went to school to become an undertaker, sponsored by his uncle, Daniel Westfall. He received his undertaker's license on June 21, 1932 from the State Department of Health in Albany, New York. He disliked that career and practiced only a short time, although it would have meant stability and security for his family.

Marshall worked all kinds of odd jobs. He was a pipe carver, house painter, clerk, undertaker, oil delivery man and oil burner repairman.

Family Tree page for Heritage book

This was a really simply family tree book for my Heritage Album. I used some genealogy software to create the tree, saved it as a jpg, and then scrapped around it.



Please excuse the blue mark outs on the page. We have to protect the living people since not everyone on the internet is honorable.

Helen's Roses & Lace QP exchange

The Blush-N-Dusty group is having a quick page exchange with Blushbutter's new kit Helen's Roses & Lace. It's so beautiful! Vanessa never ceases to amaze me with her designs.

Here's a page that I made for the exchange. There's still time to join in!

Title Page to Heritage book

This is the title page for a Heritage Book that I truly am going to do. I've started writing the text for some of the pages and have an idea in my mind of how I'm going to lay it out.

The kits I'm planning to use (and did use on this page) are Victorian Heritage and Victorian Wedding by Blushbutter. They're beautiful with lots of elements and colors that I gravitate towards. I'll probably use the Lace Frames and Round Frames that I've also purchased from Blushbutter's shop.

The font on this page for the title is Hancock.
