Grennan's Bakery

Vaughnie Simmons, his sister Corinne and their cousins Chaney and Carvel Marrs and Ruby Gulley, worked at Grennans Bakery at 3900 Washington, in St. Louis, Missouri. Their cousin, Ray Marrs, applied for work there too, but he was denied employment because he was under eighteen years old. When his under aged brother, Gerald Marrs heard about it, he also applied for the job, but lied about his fourteen years. He got the job! Although Ray groused about it at the time, he did get a job at the bakery when he came of age and actually worked at the bakery longer than any other of the Marrs/Simmons clan. Lenora Clark was working at the bakery too, and dating Carvel Marrs. This is where Vaughnie met her and fell in love.

One of the projects that Vaughnie worked on at the bakery was a huge cake, commemorating the Abraham Linclon; a train engine that ran on the Alton railroad from Chicago to St. Louis. This cake looked tasty, but was in fact merely icing on barrells!

Vaughnie and Lenora

Lenora Pollyann Clarke was born 9 Mar 1906 in Hickory City, Dent Co., Missouri, daughter of John Baptist Clark. She became the wife of Vaughnie Ecton Simmons on 7 Jun 1930 in Chicago, Cook Co., Illinois. Lenora died 14 Dec 1978 in Gladstone, Clay Co., Missouri, and is buried in Hermitage Cemetery, Hermitage, Hickory Co., Missouri.

Lenora was an accomplished artist, her oil paintings hung in many of our homes.
Using a deck of playing cards, she would "tell our fortunes".

Lenora was three years older than Vaughnie and previously married. Vaughnie used to wink and say he was married to an older divorcee'.

Vaughnie's Fedora

Vaughnie Ecton Simmons was born 18 Feb 1909 in Grove Center, Union Co., Kentucky, son of Claude John and Nancy Hanks (nee Marrs) Simmon.

On 7 Jun 1930 in Chicao, Cook Co., Illinois, he married Lenora Pollyann Clarke. Vaughnie died 14 Dec 1978 in Gladstone, Clay Co., Missouri.

As a boy, Vaugnie complained of having to wear knickers to school. His mother told him that when he got to be as tall as his father he could wear long pants. He wore knickers through his first year of high school. This seems like a remarkable story since Pee Wee was one of the shortest of men and Vaughnie one of the tallest!
