  Notes	"George Slawson: An American Pioneer" by Harold D. Slosson - Frank Slosson's daughter, an artist and teacher, she was the mother ot twins - something new in the Slosson line.... Dorothy was a teacher. After graduation from Monrovia High School, she attended Pasadena's "Broadoaks," a well-considered school at that time. Her specialty was kindergarten work, and she had the patience and kindliness to properly start the little tots on their way through school.... From Monrovia, Dorothy went to Santa Paula, where she was a teacher. She made friends, joined a church, and helped out in community affairs.....Among the firends Dorothy made at that time was Clare Crawford. He was the son of Dr. John Crawford, pioneer Santa Paula physician and the first health official of that city. Clare was a citrus rancher, and, as it happened, had been a student at the University of Southern California where he had been a friend of the writer. The friendship of Dorothy and Clare ripened into a romance, and they were married on June 22, 1927. The Crawford family started with twins, Donald and Dorothy. Next, they had another son, Jon.... But Dorothy had a critical illness, and after some time she passed away on August 2, 1961. After that, Clare remained close to the children, who were a great comfort to him.... Meanwhile, Clare, who had been in the Army Air Corps during World War I, joined the Pt. Hueneme Fire Department during World War II. As an old-timer in Santa Paula, he had many friends in his church and the local American Legion post. After being well past the biblical three score and ten, he too passed away on August 22, 1974. Dorothy and Clare are buried together in the Santa Paula Cemetery.
