aka Doras Head b. Jun 1866
Dora started a business in Tacoma with a Mary J Yeo as dressmakers in 1890
and in 1893 her title was listed as nurse. It can be safely assumed she sought the profession of nursing about this time and received her training in Tacoma.
Dora Head was nurse in Queets as well as the Dickey sisters.
She lived in Tacoma and in 1894 went to the Queets settlement.
We can see she stayed in Queets for only a year, more or less.
The Wm H Head below should be her brother.
It's confirmed that both are single and living their own lives.
Both brother William and sister Dora were born in Wisconsin.
Their Father being born in Wisconsin and their Mother born in Germany.
We see that Dora started out in Tacoma and came back, her brother William
stayed in Tacoma at least til 1912.
