Facts and Events
Marjorie Belle Conklin, daughter of Theodore and Frederica (Keller) Conklin was born on 26 October 1924 in Jerseyville (Jersey County), Illinois. She graduated from MacMurray College in Jacksonville, Illinois with a degree in business education. For awhile she worked in retail management with Marshall Fields Department Store in Chicago, but found that business at that time was not friendly to would-be women executives. She then pursued a teaching career and taught high school business courses for many years. She taught in Waukesha, Wisconsin for a few years and then returned to Jerseyville where she taught until retirement. On 3 November 1951, in Jerseyville, Illinois she married. Marjorie was the last member of the Conklin family to live in Jerseyville. |
