John Stromberger found the following brief article, presumably about Dorothy, quoted verbatim, from a Washington, Illinois newspaper:

August 9, 1910: "Capt. D. S. Sheppard received a letter from a brand new great-granddaughter this week. The little Miss is a daughter of W. D. McLemore of Nantucket, Mass., and she arrived at their home, Sunday, July 31. She did not exactly write the letter to the captain, but is appeared as if she did."
