Thank you. Yes, Dr. Henry Martyn Jr. apparently had serious problems. Dora was Henry's second wife. They had been married only a few months when Henry killed her mother. Due to the prominence of the Scudder family the murder and subsequent suicide of Henry was written about in many newspapers including the New York Times. Dora was the adopted daughter of a prominent family. Her short life was quite sad and I have wondered what life was like for her after the murder. I know she did not return to her father's home but lived with Henry's parents until her death 3 years later.
