MANSFIELD -- Doris Grace Stotts, 93, died Tuesday, Aug. 14, 2007, at MedCentral/Mansfield Hospital after a brief illness. She was born Sept. 14, 1913, in Shelby, to Roy and Blanche Fair Faulkner. Roy owned a farm in Plymouth Township, just northwest of Shelby, and Doris attended the Faulkner one-room school through the eighth grade. She finished her high school education at Shelby, graduating in 1931 In 1936, she graduated form Kent State University with a B.A. in secondary education. As a student, she loved math and had planned to teach math, but she found that most math teachers were men. In order to coach, you needed to be a teacher, so many of the schools employed men as math teachers so they would also have coaches. As a result, Doris went back to school, at The Ohio State University, and got her elementary education certificate in 1937. In 1938, she began teaching fifth- and sixth-graders in Frazeysburg, Ohio. She was there for two years before moving to Shelby to teach the fourth grade until 1945. In 1945, she married Clarence "Jack" during WW II. Doris and Jack moved to east of Mansfield on Little Washington Road. From 1946 to 1949, Doris taught at Bowman Street School to fifth- and sixth-graders in Mansfield. In 1950, they moved back to the Stotts farm in Ontario and also began their family. Doris returned to teaching in 1958, when she began teaching fourth grade in the Ontario School system. She continued in that position until her retirement in 1977. She especially enjoyed teaching Ohio history. This, with her love of travel, led her to take the family to see all the historic sites in Ohio several times during her career. She shares many fond memories of students and her colleagues. After her retirement, she and Jack enjoyed traveling and doing craft projects together. One of those projects was making doll houses. One of them was a model of Ontario United Methodist Church as it looked in the 1930s. Another was a model of the one-room school Doris had attended as a young girl. That model is now on display at the Plymouth Museum in Plymouth, Ohio. In 1990, Doris and Jack sold the farm and built a home on a piece of the farm. Doris enjoyed quilting, cross stitching, rug hooking, reading and traveling. She also enjoyed spending time with her rug hooking friends, who call themselves the Happy Hookers. Doris was member of the Ohio Retired Teachers Association and Sunshine Circle. She was a past member of United Methodist District Mission Team and a member of Ontario Untied Methodist Church, where she was a past president of United Methodist Women. She is survived by two children, Jay and Denise Stotts of Houston and Mary Ann Stotts of Mansfield; two grandchildren, Matthew Brown of Shelby, and Bethany (Dustin) Williams of Camp Pendleton, Calif., and their son, Aiden Williams; son-in-law, Dan Brown of Atlanta, Ga.; sisters-in-law, Mary McCarron of Ashland, and Helen Breinich of Shelby; and nieces and nephews, Stephen (Pam) Faulkner, Dianne (John) Wright, Jean (Ron) Wiggins, Robert McCarron, Betty Mart in, Pat (Bob) Mehl, Terry Breinich, Larry Breinich, and Dick Breinich; special caregiver, Julie Daniels; and special friend, Betty Gilliom. She was preceded in death by her parents; husband, Clarence A. (Jack) Stotts in 1998; daughter, Linda K. Brown; sister and brother-in-law, Lois E. and John (Victor) Stine; brother and sister-in-law, Laurence R. and Joanne Faulkner; and brothers-in-law, Harold McCarron and Anton Breinich.

Hello, Listers! In reviewing the OGS Pastfinders online for 1986, I came across an ancestral chart for Mrs. Lois Browne, who in 1986 was living in Santa Cruz, CA 95065. Her ancestors included one Israel Miller (1789-1872) and wife Regina. Their son, John Miller (1815-1891) of Cumberland Co., PA, who married Emily Ann Lincoln, is listed as well. I am looking for my ancestor, Mary Regina Miller Dorcas. She, too, was born in Cumberland Co., PA, in 1817 and married Andrew Dorcas in RCO in 1838. I have reason to believe that Mary Regina may be the daughter of Israel and Regina. Please contact me if there is anyone out there having information on Israel's family. Thanks! Letha Chunn-Mendivil

Annie, thanks much for your offer of help. Last night I spotted a very truncated online reference, apparently taken from the October 6, 1892 issue of the Mansfield "Weekly News", to an apparent court case between my great great grandfather, Isaac Bricker of Jackson Township, and his older brother Franklin. I had no knowledge of this before that moment. I would be very interested in the entire article. There seems to have been an article about Isaac in the same newspaper on September 24, 1891 as well. Again, thanks very much.
