  Notes	Dorothy was abandoned by and, apparently, completely forgotten by both of her biological parents. Couldn’t find her in the 1920 census. In the 1930 census, she was Dorothy Minske, living with her paternal grandfather and his 2nd wife, Ernest and Bertha Minske, in Minneapolis. In the 1940 census, she and her family lived in the village of Pine River in Cass County. Five years earlier she had lived in Minneapolis. Her husband John M is a farm laborer. John was not employed but was seeking work. John had a seventh-grade education, Dorothy had had two years of high school. Her birth certificate showed that she was child #2 of her mother. Her birth was legitimate. Her first and middle names were added to her birth certificate on 18 Oct 1967. Dorothy died of a heart attack associated with diabetes. The informant for her death certificate was her daughter, Mrs. Verlon Larson of Bingham Lake. Mrs. Larson knew that Dorothy’s parents were Earl “Minski” and Francis Carr. Dorothy died as the widow of Jonathan M Martin. Neither Dorothy nor her children are mentioned at all in Frances’s obituaries.
