Linda Kennedy Watson, 2021 Thornton Homecoming Queen
Thu, 06/03/2021 - 12:00am
I, Linda Kennedy Watson, was born on Saturday, January 17, 1942, in Marlin Texas at Torbett Hospital to Coleman and Marguerite Kennedy. In those days Saturday was a very busy day in Thornton with all the farmers coming to town for groceries, visiting, and generally catching up on local goings-on. My mother and daddy owned and operated Kennedy Grocery, Feed, and Fertilizer from the 30’s til I closed it in the early 80’s.
