Biography
Dora was born in 1857 and died in 1940.[1]
Dora was the only child of Martha Ann (Chambers) Huff to be born in Texas. Dora was barely a year old when her mother and two of her siblings died of Typhoid Fever. Little Dora was cared for by her older sisters and the house slaves until her father married again. She was then tenderly cared for by her young step-mother, Martha Louise (Meriwether) Huff.
