Marion Benedict is of course the future Mrs. Hanford Hillman Closson. Stanford doesn't indicate the nature of his relationship to her (or Hanford's, for that matter), but it's certainly interesting to speculate how well he and Hanford knew Miss Benedict at this time. When did they all meet? Maybe someone reading this knows.
In 1910, Marion and her brother Clifford lived with their parents Joseph and Alice Benedict at 424 Summit Avenue in Schenectady. Her father was a machinist for GE at the time. By 1920, other than their address (by then it was 630 Hamilton Street) nothing had changed but their ages. The Clossons lived about a mile from 630 Hamilton Street, where the Benedicts may have been living in 1919.
