    All sources I have seen give this person's name only as Katie Dumond.  We would expect this to be short for Katherine, but I have not found that name anywhere.  There are few sources for information on Katie.

    I did not know Katie Dumond's maiden name until May 2008, when I found the obituary of Chester Carleece Dumond.  Chester died in August 1999, but I found the obit online on RootsWeb, reposted from the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette newspaper of 7 August 1999.  This obituary gives the names of Chester's parents.

    "Chester Carleece DuMond of DeWitt [was] born October 16, 1906, to John Lewis (Louie) and Katie Watkins DuMond."

    I had earlier found Katie in census entries with her husband and children  Katie is reported with her husband John Lewis, or Lewis J, in the 1920 census.  In 1930, she is a widow.
