Marshall, Thanks for all your hard work collecting and sharing memories of Marvel. I've enjoyed all the pictures you helped my husband attain. I grew up there and would love to know more about my roots in Marvel. Sherry Jones Liddle

Thank you for the wonderful trip through Marvel as it was once. My mother was born in Marvel in 1913. Their last name was Houlditch.

OUTSTANDING! I loved every picture. I pass by the old mine works from time to time and never knew there was such a history has you have documented here. I have saved and printed a couple pictures and will compare the old photo's to what I see now at the old #1 and #2 mine. I would love to know more about where the school, depot and shops were located in relation to the old mine. Thanks for all the pictures!

Marshall, You have really done a good job. Wish I had photos to add but unfortunately don't. Glad you and my grandson Morgan are communicating

It's great that you've put these pictures up here. My Great-grandfater was B.F. Roden, and my grandfather was Calvin Roden (his youngest son). I'd love to talk to you about where you came across these various pictures. My family has some interesting stories to tell about this place, as my mother and her sister both grew up there. Thanks for posting these. I can be reached at morgan_cole@hotmail.com or morganc@microsoft.com

Mr. Goggins, I have seen these photos several times in my lifetime. My Mam-Ma & Pap-Pa, Geneva (Allen)Hand & William Eugene (Buster)Hand, had similar pictures, who passed them on to my Mother, Peggy Williams (Hand) Also, my 2nd cousin, Patty Holsombac, who lives in Alabama, video-taped her collection of Marvel pictures. It is such a joy to know these memories of our family are so treasured. Thanks, Kimberly Mendoza
