Married Wm Wilburn Marshall Oct 25 1921 in Olathe KS. Lived the majority of her life in Richmond Mo. Together Wilburn and Gladys raised three children. She graduated from Hardin (Mo) High School in 1917. She was senior class secretary and editor-in-chief of the "High School Tatler" her school paper. She lived in Camden Mo at the time and rode the train to Hardin to attend high school. She could do this since her father worked for the railroad. When 17 1/2 years old, Gladys heard something that sounded like thunder while sitting on their front porch at their Camden home. Next morning they discovered that the Missouri River had changed course and Camden was no longer a river town. Maps still show this loop to Camden today as Lafayette County south of Missouri River still claims area north of river. - "On July 2, 1915, erratic Missouri River cut a new channel, eliminating the "Great Bend" which had given prominence to Camden and Orrick. A beautiful natural lake was formed in the bottoms as a result of this and it was called Sunshine Lake for the area where it formed." -
She worked for many years at Richmond School district as a cook. She had 9 grandkids and 5 great grandkids at the time of her death.
