John Wolfenden was the husband of Dora
Wolfenden and they lived at
623 Dexter Street in Central Falls, Rhode Island, United States.
According to the Providence
Journal, Dora and John were sailing on
board the Lusitania with the
intent of moving to England. Dora gave an account that they were
going to see their son.
When the torpedo hit the Lusitania,
Dora was on deck and John was shaving belowdecks. She tried to
get him
into the boat, but he said he couldn't until all the women were off the
ship. Dora escaped in lifeboat #15. John was lost in the
sinking.
