DORA DORN HAMMAR, 1868-1938, THIRD DAUGHTER
The first of the Dorn children to be born at Green Valley was Dora Ida whose birth occurred September 9, 1868. She attended the local grade school and Watsonville High School.
On May 20, 1888, Dora Ida Dorn was married to Edward Evans Long. The ceremony took place in the Dorn home and was performed by Reverend C. S. Harwell of the Methodist Episcopal Church. The official witnesses were Jacob Long and Mary J. Long, both of Green Valley as was the groom himself. He was twenty-two years of age at the time of the marriage. 1 The couple had no children, and were married for eight years before a divorce was granted. Dora, however, filed suit for a divorce on May 3, 1893 but three years elapsed before it was brought to trial. The ground for divorce was an allegation of brutal treatment affecting plaintiff's health, The suit was complicated by virtue of the fact that Dora as plaintiff sought from the Court a declaration of interest in certain property held by her husband and others, who were named defendants in the case.
The cause was heard by Honorable F. J. McCann, Superior Judge of the County of Santa Cruz, and on September 24, 1896, he entered judgment as follows:
Long.
(a) that Dora I. Long was entitled to an interlocutory decree of divorce from Edwin E. (b) that Dora I. Long had no right, title or interest in the property concerned. 2
Doctor of Medicine and Re-marriage. Reportedly assisted financially by her oldest brother, Judge Dorn, Dora Ida Long now enrolled in the University of California where she pursued the course in medicine. Successful in this she, in 1900, received the Degree of Doctor of Medicine, and, having passed the required examination, was licensed to practice in California on July 29, 1901. As a practitioner her work was largely in the children's field, and she for a long time was attached to the staff of the Children's Hospital in San Francisco. 3
In Martinez on January 23, 1907, Dr. Dora Ida Long and Dr. Samuel F. Walton, dentist, were married by Honorable C. H. Haden, Justice of the Peace. Dr. Walton was a native of Nova Scotia, aged thirty-three years. The witnesses to the marriage were John J. Hurley and J. P. Briare. 4 It should be noted that the Marriage License issued by the County Clerk of Contra Costa County, authorized the marriage of S. L. Walton and Dora I. Dorn. Likewise the records of the University refer to her as Dora I. Dorn. This indicates that following the decree of divorce from Ed Long she resumed her maiden name.
During their years of marriage the Doctors Samuel and Dora Walton practiced their respective professions in San Francisco.
Disaffection apparently developed after a number of years and on January 2, 1914, Dora Walton filed suit for divorce. This was assigned to Department 4 of the Superior Court, Honorable John J. Van Nostrand, Judge. This action was not pressed and appears to have been dismissed. 5 On April 3, 1916, a new petition was filed and on August 13, 1916, an interlocutory decree was awarded to Dora who also was permitted to resume her maiden name of Dora I. Dorn. In these actions she was represented by Attorney Theodore J. Savage who had been the law partner of her deceased brother, D. S. Dorn. 6
Third marriage. In San Francisco on September 1, 1917, Dora I. Dorn was married to Alrick Hammar. The ceremony was performed by Reverend Joshiah Sibley of Calvary Presbyterian Church. 7
Mr. Hammar was a native of Kalmar, Sweden, aged fifty-four years. He was an apothecary for the United States Navy and as such was commissioned in the Medical Corps. Although born in Sweden his father, Charles G. Hammar, was a native of Scotland. Witnesses to this wedding were Fred A. Dorn and Mabel Seymour.
Alrick Hammar had been married previously and had a daughter, Kalmar, named after his hometown. Dr. Dora raised her as her own daughter. Lt. Hammar was a member of Naval Lodge No. 57, F. and A. M. of Vallejo and a Past Exalted Ruler of Vallejo Lodge No. 559, B.P.O.E. He died in San Francisco on April 16, 1927, aged sixty-four years. At this time his daughter Kalmar was about nineteen years of age and Dr. Dora continued to treat the young woman as her own, In due time she became Mrs. Schively and had a daughter named Dora Hammar Schively. Dr. Dora was very fond of this child as well as of her mother and made generous provisions for both in her will which was dated February 25, 1938. 8
I Am Temple. Dr. Dora Hammar appears to have been deeply moved by the aspirations of her soul, and turned to the religion known as the I Am Temple for her spiritual formation. The specific branch of this activity which she attended is located at 1337 Sutter Street in San Francisco. It is reported that she was very much interested in and profoundly dedicated to this particular form of religious teaching, and funeral services at the time of her death were under its direction.
Death. From 1935 on Dora Hammar was in poor health due to arteriosclerosis and this became more accentuated as time progressed. The end came in Dante Hospital, San Francisco, on September 20, 1938, just eleven days after her seventieth birthday. She had no children but dearly treasured her stepdaughter, Kalmar Hammar Schively, and her step granddaughter, Dora Hammar Schively. Her body was cremated at Cypress Lawn Cemetery on September 23rd, but it was not embalmed in accordance with the practices of the I Am Temple.
