2018-04-24 - Hometown Histories (Stories Worth Remembering) - The Remarkable Childhood of Marion Wells - Joan Brand and Linda Shea
Marion Wells Brand, was
born in Lambertville, NJ, in 1922 and lived a childhood that was
extraordinary by any measure. She was raised by her paternal
grandparents and grew up influenced by her grandfather’s passion
for politics. She spent her childhood as a protege of the governor of
New Jersey and “professional” orator, campaigning at rallies and
on the radio on behalf of her favorite candidates, including Franklin
Roosevelt.
In 1948, Marion and her
husband moved into a home on Birch Ave. in Wanamassa and lived there
the rest of their lives.
Marion's daughters, Joan
Brand and Linda Shea, sit down with our Hometown Histories crew to
discuss the remarkable life of their mother, Marion Wells Brand.
