Notes for Rita Ann Hostetter: According to John William Atwell: Rita had a boyfriend (name unknown) who got Rita pregnant when she was 19 years old. Boyfriend skipped out on Rita, while Rita gave birth to Dorothy. Dorothy was raised by her Grandmother (Lydia) until Rita was "old enough to care for her", then Rita raised her.
Perhaps it was when she got married that Rita became "old enough to care for" Dorothy.
According to John William Atwell: Dorothy and Rita were very close. Dorothy often thought of Rita as "more like a big sister than a mother".
