Dimmitt, the well-known farmer and pioneer citizen, died about 7 o'clock Monday morning at his home east of Hastings. He has been in poor health for some months past, suffering from heart trouble and his condition became critical last week. The funeral will be held on Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock at the Hastings Methodist Church, with Rev. J.W. Wright in charge. The burial ceremony will be under the auspices of the Knights of Pythias Lodge, of which the deceased was a charter member of the Hastings chapter. Mr. Dimmitt was past seventy years of age, and had resided for more than forty years in the vicinity of Hastings. He was a man highly respected for his worth of character, honesty and integrity. Further facts about his life will be given later. "Mills County Tribune," October 24, 1910: Tuesday's tribune spoke briefly of the death of Wm. E. Dimmitt, which took place Monday at his home near Hastings. The funeral was held on Wednesday afternoon from the Hastings Methodist Church, Rev. J.W. Wright officiating. The burial was in charge of the Knights of Pythias. The floral offerings were very beautiful. Interment took place at the East Liberty Cemetery north of Malvern, at which place the first wife and several children are buried. The pallbearers were Messrs. L.T. Genung, J.B. Fickel, N.W. Colling, G.D. Keller, W.P. Crow and Perry Wilson. Mr. Dimmitt was born Dec. 23, 1837, in Indiana, and died June 22, 1910. When a young lad he came with his parents to Jasper County, Iowa. His father died at the age of 37, and as the deceased was the oldest of the family much responsibility devolved on him. His mother died 20 years ago, aged 73. He was married March 9, 1856, at Ottumwa, to Paulina Jones, who died April 9, 1898. To them were born 13 children, 9 of whom preceded him in death. The four surviving children by the first marriage are Elmer Dimmitt, Mrs. B. Boney and Mrs. Abel Carey, Hastings, and N.L. Dimmitt of Wisner, Neb. A step-son also survives. Mr. Dimmitt was married a second time on April 12, 1900, to Miss Alice Keltner, to whom five children were born, two of whom died in infancy. Three of these children, two sons and a daughter, and the wife survive him. Mr. Dimmitt came to Mills County in [1862?] and lived for a time on a farm north of Malvern, but for many years his home has been near Hastings. He was kind and loving as a husband and father, and was respected and esteemed among neighbors and friends for his many good qualities and upright living. The bereaved wife and children desire to return thanks to friends for kindly acts in the hour of sorrow. Notes: A bracket is around the year 1862 with a question mark as the year in the obituary is difficult to read. Also, William's obituary states, "When a young lad he came with his parents to Jasper County, Iowa." William's parents, Jacob and Rebecca were Quakers, and I have found them listed in several of the records of the Society of Friends. They were living in Mahaska County, Iowa, when Jacob died on February 25, 1848, and Rebecca and William, who would have been 11-years-old, were named as administrators of Jacob's estate. After Jacob's death, Rebecca married Paris Mendenhall, the son of Daniel and Deborah Mendenhall. She was Paris's third wife, and these were the "parents" that William came to Jasper County with.
