orothy was one of five children born to James
and Mathilde McManus, who married and started their grocery business in
Edgewater's Guild Hall, built in 1886 by John Lewis Cochran. She is the pretty
little girl, first row middle, in this family photo taken in front of the
house her father purchased on Ridge Avenue, in which she was raised and lived
until her death.
orothy contacted the Edgewater Historical Society
shortly after it was founded, and loaned us many family photos to copy. She
attended most of our General Meetings over the years, until recently, and
even donated to our Museum project. We shall always remember her warm smile
and wonderful stories about early Edgewater. We extend our heartfelt condolences
to her family.
