    3. I am not sure if this is your DOTY, but my grandmother Dorothy Elise Fulmer (Smith) family lived in Port Angles, and her cousin Mariel Fulmer daughter of Henry Elton Fulmer married Ralph E. DOty But he was in Pullman. This is her obt. DOTY also lived to be 103 Dear Editor, I read with interest the article in the recent Hilltopics (June 1994) about Floyd Raymond Smith, 103, the oldest alumnus of record at the time of his death Feb 11, 1994. Another WSU graduate, my mother Mariel Fulmer Doty, also died at age 103, Oct. 22, 1994. She was the daughter of ELton Fulmer, mentioned in the Hilltopics article as the teacher of one of Smith's favorite classes, organic chemistry. Mother was born Feb. 7, 1891 in Lincoln, Neb., and when she was two moved with her family to Pullman, where Professor Elton Fulmer chaired the chemistry department and was dean of the faculty for many years until he died in a train wreck in 1916. Mother graduated from what was then the State College of Washington in 1912 with a major in literature and music. She was a member of Pi Beta Phi sorority. She taught English and German in schools at Coupeville, and Garfield (Whitman County) for several years. She Married Ralph Doty, who was working in Pullman , and in 1918 they moved to Portland, Ore., where she resided for 60 years. After my father's death she worked for the Oregon Department of Welfare as a case worker, retiring in 1956. In 1978, she moved to the Panorama City retirement community in Lacey, where she resided until just a few months prior to her death. Myron E.
