Mary M. Dimmick, daughter of John and Elizabeth Dimmick, was born near Wadsworth, O., April 9, 1839, and died at her home near Sciota at 8 o'clock on Monday evening, February 13, 1922, aged 82 years, 10 months and 5 days.
About two weeks ago she contracted a cold which developed into bronchial pnuemonia. She was too weak to withstand the ravages of the disease because of her advanced age.
She resided until the fall of 1864 in Ohio, when she, with her husband and two sons, then small children, came to Illinois and settled on a farm northeast of Sciota where she resided until her death.
On March 23, 1859, she was united in marriage with Samuel A Heaton, who followed her in death one day later. The following children survive: John D of Sciota, George J of Ferris, Ill., Mrs Mertie E Rush of Axtel, Kan., Frank J, Mrs Clara J Barker, Mrs Hattie E Warntz, all of Sciota, together with ten grandchildren and two great grandchildren. Also one sister, Mrs Myra Johnston of Manhatten, Kan., who is the only surviving one of the family.
A good many years ago she united with the Baptist church at Sciota, to which faith she remained a consistent member until her death.
She, with her husband, were among the early settlers of McDonough county and endured many hardships of a semi-pioneer life, which added strength to an already strong character. One whose many services to the community have been invaluable.
She was a true, noble citizen, with strong affiliations for home and community. An affectionate wife, a kind and loving mother, who will be greatly missed.
In her early days she was always ready to help the sick and needy.
Funeral services were held at the home Thursday at 2 p.m., and conducted by Rev. Jones of Macomb. Interment in the Good Hope cemetery.
