Note: Madelene was a very winsome woman, with dark eyes and dark hair. She had a gift for artistic talent and was a fashion artist in her early professional career. When the war came, (WW II) she got a job designing parachutes. For a time she also painted family coats-of-arms. Madelene was also the family genealogist. Much of my family history is the result of her hard work and research. As her talents developed, she began to make a living researching family histories for those who would pay her hourly rate. She specialized in the Philadelphia and Pennsylvania area. Madelene also had a pension for gardening. Her house in Swarthmore was always beautiful, and when not doing genealogy she could be found with a trowel and flowerpot in hand.
