Dorothy Euphemia Livingston

Born: Dec. 2, 1924 at Vallonia Springs, Broome County, NY.

Died: May 11, 1927 at Vallonia Springs, Broome County, NY.

She is buried at Glenwood Cemetery in Afton, Chenango County, NY


She got her middle name from her grandmother, Euphemia Walker Faatz.

Her gravestone shows that she died in 1927, but other information
says she died in 1926.  Research continues.


Her father was 1898 Austin Thomas Livingston

Her mother was 1900 Norma Rose Pulis


The story of Dorothy's untimely death was related to me by my
aunt 1921 Rose Eliza Smith, who was also Dorothy's aunt.  

Dorothy was riding in a horse-drawn wagon with her mother when she
fell off and was crushed by a wagon wheel.  Her father was apparently 
away at the time.  Her mother carried her five miles down Route 41 
into the town of Afton, to the doctor's office.  Dorothy had died
even before they left the farm, but her mother was most likely in 
shock and denial about the fact, so got her to the doctor the only 
way she could...by walking and carrying Dorothy.

N.B. The photo at right shows 1900 Norma Rose Pulis Livingston, 
Dorothy's mother, on the fully-loaded hay wagon.  The date of this 
photo is not known.  In those days, it was common for the entire 
family to pitch in and help during busy seasons, such as harvest-time.  
If there were small children, they would be taken along as well.
