Notes for Marcia Jane Huff

In the 1900 census Marcia and Bud were living in Benton Township, Wayne County, Mo. They bought property from J. G. Clarkson, Dec. 23, 1890, southeast of Piedmont, Mo.

Emery Self, born April, 1876.
Ruthie Self, born September, 1884.
Walter Self, born August, 1890. Walter was the spitting image of Arthur Huff, grandson of William Huff and Mary Kear; they could have easily passed as brothers. Walter had a mental condition and spent a lot of time in foster homes or institutions and when he could get away he always went to his favorite place - Great Aunt Caroline Scoggin's home. It was always easy to see why she was his favorite person; her door was always open to the needy. Even though he frightened Caroline, she never let him know it, and in her kind and compassionate way, she took Walter back to where he belonged.
