	'''July 17, 1897 [SFCall]: “Graduated from field seminary where she was a noted singer. New the little child, born in the poorhouse, is heir to the Creede millions. Oakland office, San Francisco Call, 908 Broadway, July 16. Little Edith Dorothy Creede, whose mother was forced to allow her to be adopted two years ago, and who is now heir to a vast estate, is the daughter of an Oakland boy. The doings of her father and mother created great interest here some time ago, and after their marriage they stayed at the Galindo Hotel. Little Edith's [“Dorothy”] father was John Mackay Walker, son of the builder of the famous Walker mansion that was torn down a few months ago. Edith's mother was of a romantic nature, and as Edith Waters she created some notoriety in Santa Barbara County by running away from the island of San Miguel because it was too lonely for her. She was living there with her stepfather, who owned the island, and she took advantage of a passing schooner to leave her place of exile and go to the mainland. Edith Waters was a very popular singer while at Field Seminary in this City, and early in life decided to study for the stage. She had a beautiful voice and it was after a few months of work at the Orpheum that she met the son of the Oakland millionaire. John Walker proposed marriage and his offer was accepted, and they did not waste any time over preliminaries before getting married. Trouble quickly followed. Walker had been brought up luxuriously and could not realize the fact that he was a poor man who had to earn a living, and so while in Oakland Mrs. Walker did some work as a typewriter, while her husband amused himself playing tennis. This did not last long, and before her child was born, three years ago, Mrs. Walker moved to Los Angeles, and little Edith [“Dorothy”] first saw the light of day in the County Infirmary. For some months the young mother did her best to support it. She went on the stage, but still she found it hard to support them both, and when an offer was made to her to adopt her child, which she had left in Los Angeles with a charitable lady, she felt constrained to accept. She agreed to let Nicholas Creede adopt the little girl, and now he has died and his will bequeathed all his estate to the child. Mrs. Walker got a divorce about a year ago and married a successful young business man of San Francisco [Harold Roberts Basford], and is now living there. As Creede was separated from his wife it is not unlikely that Little Edith's [“Dorothy”] mother will apply for the custody of her child.”		'''July 17, 1897 [SFCall]:''' “Graduated from field seminary where she was a noted singer.
