Notes |
A Memory of Marjorie (Morgan) Wyman by Freeman Wright:
Marjorie (Morgan) Wyman was born Jan. 24, 1925 in Caribou
The daughter of Clyde and Blanche (Pike) Morgan
The Morgans were a very talented and musical family
Who spent many Sundays and evenings around the piano & organ
Clyde & Blanche Morgan were blessed with four daughters
Named: Arlene, Regna, Ruth and Marjorie
Clyde Morgan their Dad was a prominent businessman
Who left an indelible mark on Caribou's early history
Marjorie's father was part owner, of Morgan's Funeral Home
The first to be established in Caribou, the year 1898
Which is now known as the Lancaster-Morgan Funeral Home
A prominent & respected funeral home, from that early date
Clyde & Blanche were active members, of the United Baptist Church
Their girls were also active, becoming members one by one
Ruth is the only remaining active member, at this time
They were all quiet and friendly girls, known by everyone
Marjorie was always a pleasant person to talk to
Which is a characteristic of Marjorie and her sisters as well
It was a trait they inherited from their mother
As those that knew Blanche (Pike) Morgan, will tell
Marjorie attended the grammar schools in Caribou
Graduated from Caribou High School in 1942
She graduated with Rex Wyman, whom she would later marry
They met at a birthday for Marjorie, that Rex was invited to
After graduating, Marjorie worked for the Potato Inspection Office
Rex went into the United States Air Force in 1943
Later after receiving his training, Rex was sent to England
He was assigned to B-24's in England, serving his country
Rex was sent home just before the war was over in Germany
He was given a thirty day furlough after returning home
Was stationed at Pratt AFB in Kansas, when they were married
Rex was reassigned to the Pacific, where he was later flown
They were married in the living room of Marjorie's parents
Her sister Dorothy's wedding also took place in their home
Marjorie was the last of the Morgan girls to be married
For the first time in years, Clyde & Blanche were now alone
Rex was sent by the Air Force to serve in the Pacific
While stationed there, Rex was assigned to B-29's
It was from a B-29 that the atomic bomb was dropped on Japan
Which brought an end to the Pacific conflict, in a short time
Rex returned to the United States, after the war was over
Was discharged from Fort Devens in 1946, returning home
For Marjorie and the Wyman family, there was a sigh of relief
Especially for Marjorie, who would no longer be alone
Rex and Marjorie built a house, on Page Avenue extension
Actually Marjorie lived on Page Avenue, all of her life
It was there she was born, at the home of her parents
Grew up, went to school, married, becoming a devoted wife
Rex worked for awhile, in the A&P Grocery Store
Then worked for Gradon Lombard for 12 & 1/2 years
Went on his own, repairing and rewinding electric motors
His electrical expertise was well known, by all his peers
God blessed Rex & Marjorie with a daughter "Gail" Oct. 23, 1948
It was "Melissa" April 4, 1952 when God blessed them once more
If they were praying for a son, their prayers were answered
With the birth of a son "Scott", who was born July 21, 1954
Marjorie no longer worked for the Potato Inspection Office
Her place as a good mother, was with her children at home
Her children remember her love and "tender loving care"
From the time they were born, until they were fully grown
Marjorie and Rex had a place for relaxing on hot summer days
They built a camp for themselves & the children at Madawaska Lake
They spent much time there, while the children were growing up
The cool water on a hot summer day, wasn't hard to take
Marjorie went to the old hospital for an operation in 1957
Her sister Regna has broken a leg and was also admitted there
The hospital placed them together, to share the same room
Making their stay more enjoyable, their burdens easier to bear
Marjorie and Rex enjoyed traveling after the children were married
They made many trips to visit their daughters, who had moved away
Especially during the times, their husbands were in the service
Those trips leave precious memories, Rex & the girls share today
They were fortunate to have their son Scott, remain in Caribou
He, his wife Elizabeth and children, are still living here
Melissa also lived nearby, before moving to Greenville, Maine
Marjorie kept in touch with them all, down through the years
Marjorie accepted the Lord at an early age
Became a member of the United Baptist Church of Caribou
Marjorie was baptised April 12, 1936
In the old chapel baptismal, that her sisters went through
God gave Marjorie a good and loving husband
To Rex, Marjorie was a loving and devoted wife
She loved her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren
They meant so much to Marjorie, they were her life!
Marjorie not only said she loved her children, but showed it
She remained in contact with them, even after they were grown
That same love carried on and wa extended to others in need
Through cards, notes and meals, from their home
Marjorie's son Scott said: "Mom was the nicest lady I ever met
She was not only nice to her family, but nice to all"
Marjorie displayed a pleasant attitude, to everyone she met
In her home, love and kindness was shared, to all who called
Marjorie was born and brought up, in a good Christian home
She and her three sisters, were a "close knit" family
They made it a point, to meet often after they were married
They now have children of their own and their own "family tree"
One of Marjorie's most enjoyable hobbies, was playing bridge
She was faithful to a group of ladies, who met every week
I remember seeing them often, meeting at Yusef's Restaurant
Enjoying a time of fellowship and something to eat
Marjorie enjoyed playing the piano in her home
Sharing her musical talent, a carry over from the Morgan family
Marjorie made everyone feel good, by just talking with her
Something about Marjorie, brought out the good in everybody
Those that knew Marjorie, could see the love of God through her
Her faith in God, was recognized by all whom she met
A faith recognized, by her attributes and character
Her smile and "soft spoken voice", we shall never forget!
Marjorie suffered much, the last few weeks of her life
She was in and out of the hospital, here and in Bangor, Maine
She now has a perfect life, a perfect body & in a perfect place
A place where we are promised, there will be no more "suffering or pain"
