PIONEER WOMAN DIES

Mrs. Eleanor Dimick Succumbs to a Short Illness

Mrs. Eleanor Dimick, a pioneer of Oregon, died shortly before 12 o’clock Saturday night at her home 155 Tenth street, corner Morrison. She had been ill about a week, and it was thought she would recover up to a short time before she passed away. All her living chidren were at her bedside at the time of her death.

Mrs. Dimick was born in Lyons, N.Y., and was 82 years old. When a girl she moved with her parents to Northern Ohio and thence to Illinois, where she was married to M.H. Dimick. In 1862 she and her husband crossed the plains, making their home in Salem until 1868, when they moved to Portland, where she had since lived.

Mrs. Dimick was a pioneer, first in the Middle States and then in Oregon, and while she was known and loved by a wide circle of Portland friends, it was in the quiet of her own home she preferred to live, and her death was as peaceful as had been her long life.

Her husband, M.H. Dimick, died ten years ago and she is survived by five of her eight children - Mrs. Mary D. Meserve, Adelia A., Milo M., M.E. and Miss Alpha A. Dimick, and one grandson, M.E., Jr., all of Portland. The funeral will take place tomorrow afternoon from her late home 155 Morrison street, and the services will be conducted by Rev. Thomas L. Eliot, of the Unitarian Church.
