- [S830] MARX, Ruthie, Email of 25 Mar 2019.
John and Cecelia had seven children
my father John Norbert Marx Jr was born 10/31/1937 in Columbus, OH. I'm not sure but I think the rest of the kids were born in Waterbury, NE.
Cecelia had seven children in eight years and I am not of birth dates, but Danette could probably give you that. The second child was Cecelia Rose "Rosie" married name Patterson and I believe she was born in 1939 as I think she's celebrating 80 this summer.
Next was Mary (not sure of middle name) married name Dierking
Then Margaret married name Craig
Helen married name Meylor
Susie (you already know) married name Comstock
Nicholaus
Out of all of those kids, only Rosie had no children. My dad had me with my mom Patricia C. Marx (nee Loyd) 5/4/1976 and my brother Samuel Loyd John Marx 1/24/1978 in Lubbock, TX.
