![]() |
Born May 26, 1886, on a farm called Stilson on Dove Creek near Knechbroocked, Texas. Her real name was Viney May, but everyone called her Dollie. She met J.I. at a church supper in Angus, New Mexico. They married when she was 16 years old in the 1902.
"Dollie was a good horseback rider and rode sidesaddle. While going
out with J.I. he would take her to church and dances on horseback.
A lady that lived in Angus during that time said she would never forget
Dollie come flying down the road on her horse with little Frank Elizabeth
on the back, riding like indians were after them. When she would stop,
the horse would be going so fast he would just slide to a stop." Words
from Marie Belle's book, Movin' On
Dollie was the mother of eight children.
