Marjorie Lynn

She quickly had her own morning show, "Smile-A-While," with the WLS Rangers and also appeared Saturday nights on the Barn Dance, choosing her stage name based on British singer Vera Lynn.

[5] She appeared on the Barn Dance with such talent as Pat Buttram (later famous in the role of Mr. Haney on the TV series Green Acres), Arkie the Arkansas Woodchopper,[6][7] the Hoosier Hot Shots, Lulu Belle and Scotty, Eddie Peabody, George Gobel, and Gene Autry.

Larson guitars,[11] although not well known, were played by such diverse artists as Gene Autry, Patsy Montana, Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix, and Johnny Cash.

[12] In 1943, Marjorie joined the USO to help the war effort as part of the show highlighted by Roy Smeck, the anointed "King of the Ukulele."

She was the lead singer of a swing trio called the Meri-Maids, all Wisconsin girls, that also featured Ruth Sanfheil and Mary Rumachick.

According to the parish records of Landsarkivet i Uppsala, "Nils Nylin admitted to be a Methodist," despite the fact that it was illegal to subscribe to any religion other that the Lutheran Church of Sweden until 1860.

Nils and Wilhelmina both worked for O. E. Jonsson, a wealthy landowner reputed to be a descendant of Bo Grip (the Griffin), the most powerful man in Sweden in the 14th century.

Nils, Wilhelmina and their children emigrated to the United States, traveling on the RMS City of Chester, at the time the largest passenger ship afloat.

The Andersons settled in Saginaw, Michigan, where Marjorie was a music critic and columnist for the local newspaper, the Township Times, performed in the Pit & Balcony[29] venue, and sang in various groups such as the Sweet Adelines, where she didn't use her stage name but instead was known informally as Margie Baby.

Marjorie proudly participated in the 70th anniversary remembrance of the end of the war in Europe held in Ann Arbor in May 2015, one of 26 local residents still alive who served.
