In the History of Henry Franklin Hacking as a short life sketches for each of his children

Marion was a mischievous lad, born in Cedar Fort, Utah, the third child of Henry Franklin and Martha Wilcox Hacking. At two, he climbed an unlatched hayrack ladder, which fell, whacking him on the forehead. His father sewed nine stitches. Marion broke his arm falling from a poplar tree.
