Poetic Obituaries: During those years, she [Roberta Dorr] researched

her published historical novels, which she wrote after moving to Maryville. Titles include "David and Bathsheba," "Solomon's Song" and Queen of Sheba."

In the mission field, Dorr taught school to children in the Gaza area, and worked in the mission. A strong Christian, Dorr would rise at 4 a.m. to pray and read religious works. She often shared her faith with her family in poems she wrote.
