Dorothy was abandoned by and, apparently, completely forgotten by both of her biological parents.

Couldn’t find her in the 1920 census. In the 1930 census, she was Dorothy Minske, living with her paternal grandfather and his 2nd wife, Ernest and Bertha Minske, in Minneapolis.

In the 1940 census, she and her family lived in the village of Pine River in Cass County. Five years earlier she had lived in Minneapolis. Her husband John M is a farm laborer. John was not employed but was seeking work. John had a seventh-grade education, Dorothy had had two years of high school.

Her birth certificate showed that she was child #2 of her mother. Her birth was legitimate.

Her first and middle names were added to her birth certificate on 18 Oct 1967. Dorothy died of a heart attack associated with diabetes. The informant for her death certificate was her daughter, Mrs. Verlon Larson of Bingham Lake. Mrs. Larson knew that Dorothy’s parents were Earl “Minski” and Francis Carr. Dorothy died as the widow of Jonathan M Martin.

Neither Dorothy nor her children are mentioned at all in Frances’s obituaries.

Doug was well known as a hot rod enthusiast and spent much of his free time in his garage restoring classic cars from the bottom to the top. Doug had an amazing ability to fix everything from household appliances to his family's cars and much more. He also enjoyed traveling with his family, which often included attending car shows or driving to pick up classic cars for his collection of restoration projects. Doug spent many years as an electrician, but his true passion was collecting old cars and car parts and turning them into something special. Later in life when he found it difficult to continue working on cars he found great joy in visiting his son Doug and his family in Northern California and seeing all the projects he was working on, despite how difficult his many health issues made it for him to travel. On one of the last trips he made to California he was able to witness his son's wedding, he was overjoyed to be there and to become a grandfather to his son's step daughter.

Doug was preceded in death by his parents, Douglas and June (Gunderson) Dahl, an infant brother, sister Janel, niece Nevada and brother Dwight.
