Generation: 2

Dorothy Jean McLemore

(1.Elizabeth¹) was born in Jul 1910 in Nantucket County, Massachusetts; and died.

Notes:

The JAHNKE TREE at WorldConnect shows that she married Elwood PREISING, and that they had one child. Her middle name was listed as JEAN, and she was shown as being born in Jun 1910 in Nantucket.

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."
