Narrative:

     Amie Dorothea Rockefeller was born on 19 Mar 1919 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.7,8,9 She generally used her middle name, Dorothea, or just Dorothy.14,13
     Her parents appeared on the 1920 Federal Census of Philadelphia, Philadelphia Co., Pennsylvania, in the household of her father's brother Charles and his wife. Neither Dorothea nor her brother are listed, but it seems likely they were omitted in error as they are not found elsewhere.15
     Her mother took her as an infant to Germany to visit her mother, who was seriously ill. They left as soon as possible after applying for a passport on 4 Jan 1921.16 They returned aboard the USS United States, arriving in New York on 21 Jun 1921, having departed from Copenhagen 10 June.5
     The family has not been found in the 1930 census, but they were living in Eldon, Missouri, by then.17
     Dorothea appeared on the 1940 Federal Census of Philadelphia, Philadelphia Co., Pennsylvania, in the household of her parents.5 She was a clerk at an electrical company before her marriage. In 1940 she reported that she had worked 40 hours the last week of March, and had worked 20 weeks the prior year, earning $350.5
     Amie married Austin Willard Angell Jr., son of Austin Willard Angell and Ida May Reigel.10,11
     Amie and Austin were living at 308½ S. Fairfax, Alexandria, Virginia, while he was stationed at Fort Belvoir, Virginia.18 After Austin's transfer to the west coast they lived at 1070 Palm St., San Luis Obispo, San Luis Obispo Co., California.19
     Amie and Austin appeared on the 1950 Federal Census of Albany, Alameda Co., California, at 627 Curtis Ave., enumerated 8 Apr 1950, reporting they lived in a home that was not on a farm.
