Notes for Dewey Schley VAN GUNDY

Dewey was named for the heros of the day, two naval commanders in the
Spanish American War which had ended exactly one month prior to his
birth: Dewey, for George Dewey, commander of the US squadron which
thoroughly defeated the Spanish fleet at Manilla, and Schley, in honor
of Winfield Scott Schley, officer in charge at the battle of Santiago.

Again quoting from Dorisgene Webb:

"I wasn't around Uncle Dewey very much. Aunt Pauline really had my
respect! In my youth, I was scared to death of her, she could make me
quit crying in a second! In later years on the lake with her and Bill
and June (Doris' siblings), I really appreciated her sense of humor.
I have noticed the name Pauline is synonymous with laughter." (Doris
refers to others in the family by that name who also see the funny
side of life.)
