Mrs. Fred Dibble

(July 16, 1931)

   Funeral services for Mrs. Allie A. Dibble, who died Monday at the Chenango Memorial hospital, were held at her late home Thursday afternoon at 2 o'clock with Rev. R. A. Gates officiating.  Burial was made in Riverview cemetery.

   Mrs. Dibble was taken ill last January and has been unable to do any work since that time although she had been able to be about the house until she was taken seriously ill on the morning of July 7.  She was immediately removed to the Norwich hospital where an operation was performed to determine the nature of her illness.  She failed rapidly following the operation and death came at 4:15 p. m. Monday.

   Mrs. Dibble was born in Smithville, August 8, 1858 and was the daughter of Henry and Caroline Landers Loomis.

   She was a graduate of Oxford Academy and taught school in various districts in this section for 16 terms.  On October 22, 1884 she married Fred Dibble.  They resided on a farm in Smithville Flats for a number of years.  Thirty-two years ago, in 1899, they came to Oxford and made their home on Clinton street where they have since lived. 

    Besides her husband she is survived by one brother, Burdett H. Loomis and two nephews, Lynn B. and Edwin F. Loomis.
