  • Notes 
    • Dora moved with her family at a young age from Ellinger to La Grange. She attended Texas Presbyterian College but ended up studying drama at Mrs. A. A. Cocke’s school for the fine arts in Dallas. Her teacher thought she had potential and an opportunity to go on a lyceum tour. However, her father opposed the idea, and Dora would no go against his wishes.

      She soon met and married Maurice Granville of Kerrville, and they spent most of their 25 years together in La Grange. She was often in demand for her speaking ability and once gave the opening address at the ceremonies for the new school building. She was a devoted mother who was also known for her beautiful and sometimes unusual hats.

      Her parents moved to Austin in 1930 and recognizing the educational potential the city had to offer their children, she and Maurice moved the family there a few years later. Soon after the move to Austin, she and Maurice divorced. She recognized an ability for business that she had and became president of the von Rosenberg Company of La Grange. After she retired she continued to live for many years in Austin sharing her time with friends, visits from her daughter, Rosalind, and the companionship of her housemate and son, Charles.
