From Buckles


MAIL0116, originally uploaded by bucklesw1.

This is my generation of the Orton kids in 1927, eight years before I was added.
You would think this would be enough for any family but Alice (seen in the center as well as in picture #9 above) somehow became an adopted member and eventually an accomplished performer.
She never married and when the Orton Show folded she remained with Aunt Grace and her husband Tex, also seen above.
My last memories of her was as a helpmate to my two elderly, widowed aunts in Ottumwa, Iowa where all three are buried.
