Daughter of Henry F. Austin and Winifred (Cantell) Austin

First married to William Henry Short Jr on 6 Feb 1912 at Medford, Massachusetts.
Doris was 15 and William was 23 years old. On the marriage license she gives her age as 16 (she was actually one month shy of her 16th birthday at the time of the marriage).

Doris and William have two children together:
William Henry Short III and Doris Winifred Short.

William (Jr) died 3 March 1919, leaving Doris widowed at the age of 22.
1920: I have not been able to locate where Doris was living.
Her son William, age 7, was living with his paternal Grandmother, Mary St. Denis at Mooers, NY.
Her daughter Doris, age 5, may have been living in Savannah, Georgia, as a "lodger". It could be she was in foster care but it's just not entirely clear.

Doris married for the second time to Carl William Hill on 4 Apr 1921 at Nashua, New Hampshire.
In 1930 the family was living at Belmont, Mass. 15 year old Doris Winifred is in the house and two children have been born to Carl and Doris Myrtle; Gertrude age 8 and Kenneth age 3.
William Henry Short III was still living with his grandmother Mary at NY.

Carl Hill died on 1 November 1988, his place of burial is not known.
