Notes: Dorothy Norma McLeod was born 5 Feb 1910 in Courtland, Cochise, Arizona. She was the youngest of three children of Norman Chisholm McLeod and Mary Louise McKinnon. Her older siblings were Harold B. and Daniel A., both born in Mexico. The family had returned to the United States in 1906 or 1907.

In the 1910 U.S. census, the McLeod family was living in Courtland, Cochise, Arizona. Her father Norman was a carpenter for a copper mine. The children were Harold B., 6, Daniel A., 3, and Dorothy N., 2 months.

In the 1920 U.S. census, the McLeod family was living at 629 North 5th Avenue, Goldfield, Esmeralda, Nevada. Her father Norman was a carpenter for a mine. The children were Harold B., 15, Daniel M., 13, and Dorothy N., 9. All the children attended the Goldfield schools.

In the 1930 U.S. census, the McLeod family was still living in the same residence, valued at $300. Her father Norman was still a carpenter for a metal mine. The children at home were Daniel M., 23, a brakeman for a silver railroad, and Dorothy A., 20, no occupation.

Dorothy married Earl Wadsworth Walker (William, as he was then known,) on 14 Nov 1934, in Tonopah, Nye, Nevada. They were married by Judge Walter Bowler, who performed the ceremony in his own home. Witnesses to the wedding were Clem Walker, William's brother, and Miss Zora Maroney, Dorothy's closest friend. Dorothy and Zora are pictured together at right. Zora and Clem were married in 1935.
