Notes

• Dorothy was born and lived her whole life in Marlow, except for a period attending Bray school.  She always went by Dorothy.  Her daughter Lou Ada Green Horning tells us that her name was originally Dorothea, but the person in the hospital who wrote out the birth certificate spelled the name as Dorothy, and this became the official name, which the family then used.
