Marcella Tenney is the little known, younger sister of George L. (Boppy) Tenney. According to City of Pittsburgh birth records Marcella was born June 13, 1903 to George A. of Philadelphia and Sarah Welsh of Washington County. George and Sarah were living at 6 Soho Street when Marcella was born. In the 1910 Federal census, she is listed as Aurella.
