The Reason Dollie Fuller Died Young
Posted by T3273

Larry Herbstritt (Tone Poet 1) wrote me an email on 4/13/14:

I unexpectedly met one of your and my second cousins, Bill Morey. Like you and me, Bill shares the same great grandparents, Albert and Dorothy "Dollie" Fuller Davey. He's quite a bit older than me so he had some memories that I hadn't heard. One had to do with the reason Dorothy passed away so long before Albert. I had been a bit perplexed by that. Usually, it's the husband who dies before the wife.

Bill told me that "Dollie" was boiling pine sap on the stove. She may have been making rosin. I found this on wikipedia, "Rosin, also called colophony or Greek pitch (Pix græca), is a solid form of resin obtained from pines and some other plants, mostly conifers, produced by heating fresh liquid resin to vaporize the volatile liquid terpene components. It is semi-transparent and varies in color from yellow to black. At room temperature rosin is brittle, but it melts at stove-top temperatures. It chiefly consists of different resin acids, especially abietic acid.[1] The term "colophony" comes from colophonia resina or "resin from the pine trees of Colophon," an ancient Ionic city." Whatever the reason, while she was boiling the stuff, she accidentally spilled it on her and she was burned so badly that she later died. Dollie is our music connection to Nicholas Lanier and Anthony Bassano.
