General Notes:
Dorcas Dorothy Edson Davis story:
When her Uncle Eli died, Dorcas who was 7 at the time cried and cried. Her mother did not understand Dorcas's grief. The little girl had barely known her Uncle. Dorcas did remember the strong kind man that had saved her from a monster that was coming toward her. It was Dorcas's first memory of an automobile. She remembers that the car had big eyes and a grinning mouth. Uncle Eli picked up the frightened little girl and put her on his shoulders. She believes that she was about three at the time. Dorcas also remembers picking up wood chips with her Uncle Eli.
