• Notes

  'As a child, it was decided that Doris was to become a teacher, and after taking her exams at Normal College, Johannesburg, she taught at Komgha, Cape Province and later at Tweespruit, Orange Free State where she met her first husband Frank Lewis Eva. Frank was a farmer at 'Connaught' Tweespruit, until the droughts and depression almost bankrupted him, so Doris took her only child and returened to her parents, then living in Johannesburg. She now decided to go into the commercial world, and while working as a bookkeeper, took a course in Cost and Works Accounting. She was divorced from Frank Lewis Eva in 1944, and the following year she married Charles Saddler Gordon of Aberdeen, Scotland' Doris May wrote the book "Trollops of South Africa"
