Individual Note:
"Dora Esther was referred to by everyone as "Dick " or "Aunt Dick" all of her life. There was a Dickie Darnell and another Dick who visited her family when she was a small child. She said she thought it was the prettiest name she had ever heard and that's what she wanted her name to be. So they called her Dick for the rest of her life. Her eyes were brown and her hair was a auburn brown.
She lived the majority of her life in Green County, KY." --Frank Buchanan 1997
