  • Introduction

    Dorothea was a best selling authoress for her book, "Something To Live By". She wrote the book after losing her young daughter, Rosemary, to leukemia. Later, she memorialized her home to honor her daughter and then set up an estate to maintain the home and refurbish a portion of it to serve as dorm rooms to house female college students who are pursuing careers in nursing, teaching, and business administration.

  • Nationality & Locations

    Dorothea was born in Glencoe, McLeod County, Minnesota. She lived in Glencoe until her graduation from the University of Minnesota in 1919.

  • Religious Beliefs

    Dorothea was a very spiritual person. Her second book, "SCRIPTURE TO LIVE BY" contained quotations that contributed the most to her understanding of the great Power that made and controls the universe and her relationship to that power. Dorothea said, "It would be most absurd if I were to close my eyes to the nearness of the personal guidance of that Power that has led me all my life, and has compelled me to acts that have proved later to have a perfect interconnection and a perfect goal -- even the guiding of this book. Unashamed, I confess a greater hand than mine is responsible for the sequence of the thoughts in both "Something to Live By" and also "SCRIPTURE TO LIVE BY."
