Thunder Bay Historical Society
Dobie served on the Society's executive committee, alongside Miss Stafford, Dr. Oliver and W. J. Hamilton.[1] She lived on Regent Street, Port Arthur, and hosted Society gatherings at her home.[2]
She contributed several papers to the Society's annuals, among them "Girlhood Days of Earlier Port Arthur"[3] and "Extracts from Rev. D. W. McKeracher's Diary of 1873", the latter copied from the diary of the Presbyterian minister who served Port Arthur and Fort William in the early 1870s.[4] On her death the Society's president recorded that "the many valuable papers from her hand, appearing in our annuals, truly testify to her devotion and merit."[5]
