Hi Bill,

I've been reading A History of the CB&Q Illinois Pea Vine by R.W. Linroth.  On page 59, he writes: was called "the Dolly" in honor of Dolly Varden Odell who was a popular entertainer during the 1860's.  She was known for her elaborate hats and dresses.

I also found this recent newspaper article online: https://www.thehawkeye.com/lifestyle/20200315/around-burlington-dolly-was-dependable-step-to-wider-world
