Her first husband may have been an Indian and may have died.Name on marriage to 2nd husband is Duensett, and name on Dolores birthcert is Dunsith, no trace of these names exists anywhere to date.

She would take in strays - dogs, cats, kids, andbecause had a strange array of pets as well as lost kids.
She married Franklin Cox, while traveling with the carnival andpregnant with their 2nd child, Douglas Cox. No record of theirdivorce found as of yet.
