Biographical Notes

Although his middle names were "Paul Henry," Dose only went by his middle initial, "P.," while in Seattle.

Dose was a Notary Public.

Dose was naturalized in Chicago, IL, in 1870, but all records burned in a fire and those naturalized there needed to reapply through the system. He stated in a new petition for naturalization in Seattle in 1920: "The Naturalization Records of Cook Co. Ill. were destroyed in the Chicago fire, and under the new registration laws I was unable to get a copy to prove my citizenship."
