Individual Details

The spelling of her name was Dorothy Haden when she applied for a passport, 27 Nov 1917. She signed her name that way. The spelling as Dorothee was given to me by a descendant of Robert Allen Haden's family.

When Dorothy applied for her passport, she stated she was born in Shreveport, LA on 21 April 1901. Her father Robert A. Haden, deceased, was born in Keachie, LA. She was named on her mother's passport. Her legal U.S. domicile was Nashville, TN but she left the U. S. in September of 1901. She arrived at Zurich, Switzerland, 24 Aug 1917, and was now in school. She desired a passport for residence in Switzerland. Dorothey had lived in China from 1901 to 1910, Switzerland for a time in 1910, Germany from 1910 to 1913, and Switzerland from 1913 to the present date. She was 16 years old. Her mother residding in Neuchatel, Switzerland certified the information.

Dorothy further stated that she was taken to China in 1901 by her her parents, her father being a Missionary in the interest of the Southern Presbyterian Mission of Nashville. In 1910, she and her mother came to Europe for her education. Her mother does not desire to return to the U.S. until her four brothers have finished their education. They are in school in Neuchatel where I have also attended school and studied music. She plans to return to the U.S. whenever her mother returns. [Her plans must have changed because she was married in living in Birmingham, AL by 1920.] She mentioned her uncle Charles Haden, living in Birmingham, Texas [Charles Haden's residence is a mistake as there is no Birminham in Texas.... I have been unable to find Charles in the 1920 census, but in 1910 he lived in Ft. Worth, TX.]

Dorothy married Allen C. Howard.
