| HIST | of Asheville, North Carolina of Columbia, South Carolina Dorothy and Edna are twins. Dorothy Jacobs celebrates 100 years Dorothy May Chandler Jacobs celebrated her 100th birthday on Oct. 20 at Windsor Methodist Church in Columbia. All of her children, Paul, John, Sarah (Sanchez), and David as well as her grandchildren, great-grandchildren and extended family were in attendance. Dorothy grew up in Stateburg. As one of the six children of John H. and Geulieme Chandler, she had a twin sister, Edna Chandler Suber (wife of the late F. H. Suber) along time resident of Sumter. The twins attended the Argyle School in Wedgefield and graduated from Sumter High School where they confounded their teachers because no one could tell them apart. In September of 1931, Dorothy entered Tuomey Hospital School of Nursing along with 13 other young women from the Sumter area. The hospital paid them $4 per month, most of which paid for books. She graduated in 1934 as president of her class and was honored when the graduate nurses voted her the best all-around nurse. No doubt, she also now has the honor of being the oldest living graduate of Tuomey Hospital School of Nursing. In 1938, Dorothy married Dr. Paul Jacobs and became the mother of two sons. History intervened in her life when Paul joined the Army and served as a battlefield doctor with Merrill's Marauders in Burma, a Ranger outfit fighting behind Japanese lines. After the war, they lived in Asheville, N.C., where a daughter and son were born. The family lived in Asheville until 1964, when they retired and moved to Columbia. Paul passed away in 1988.
