Dora Pearl Presley.
Born on 26 Aug 1900 in Ohio. Dora Pearl died in Stow, Summit County, Ohio in Jan 1994.
Marriage Record - The Parish Record Book for St. Paul’s Episcopal Church states that Dora Presley and Ralph R. Nichols were married on 23 June 1922. However, this information is at the back of the book and is written on stationary from St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church, West Fourth Street, East Liverpool, Ohio, along with the records of others who were married or died. Rev. R. K. Caalk is the rector of this church. Therefore it is unclear if Dora and Ralph were married in Medina or in East Liverpool.
