Friends may call at Meeks Mortuary from 2 to 5 and 7 to 9 p.m. Wednesday, and at the church an hour before services.

NAME - I have made the assumtion that her given name is Dorothy. Dorothy obvioulsy went by and apparenty used "Dottie" exclusively as in all Census years where she appears, even her listing in the Social Security Death index and her marriage listing have her first name is "Dottie". The only place she was reffered to as Dorothy was in the Obituary and funeral record of her Husband William H. Hohn.

NOTE - Dorothy was born (according to the Social Security Death index) on June 4, 1880, ten days before the 1880 Census for Muncie, Delaware County, Indiana enumerated on June 14, 1880; however, she was not listed in her father Theodore's household. Additionally she married prior to the 1900 Census and thus never appeared in the household of her father Theodore. We know that Dorothy was Theodore and Millie's daughter by her being listed as a daughter in both Theodore and Millie Palmer's obituaries, as well as two of her sisters (Mae and Nettie)
