DUANE DIBBLE. With the farming interests of Troy township Duane Dibble has 
been identified since reaching man's estate and is today the owner of a fine 
farm of one hundred and thirty acres on section 23. He was born in Kankakee 
county, Illinois, June 5, 1861, his parents being Edmond and Celia (Sammons) 
Dibble, who were natives of Michigan and New York respectively. The father 
came to this state about 1859 and first located in Kankakee, where he followed 
farming for two years. At the outbreak of the Civil war he joined the boys in 
blue and served for three years as a member of the One Hundred and Thirteenth 
Illinois Volunteer Infantry. At the close of the war he removed to Will county 
and located in Troy township, where he engaged in agricultural pursuits 
throughout the remainder of his life, dying February 19, 1904. As a loyal and 
patriotic citizen, he took an active interest in public affairs and served as 
assessor of his township for one year. In religious faith he was a 
Universalist, to which church his widow also belongs. She now makes her home 
in Joliet. They had two children: Duane, of this review; and Helen, wife of 
Edwin Fargo, a resident of Gilmore City, Iowa. During his boyhood and youth 
Duane Dibble attended the district schools and early became familiar with the 
work of the farm in its various departments. He has followed farming with good 
success and now has a well improved and nignly cultivated place, the buildings 
being neat and substantial. Mr. Dibble was married on the 8th of February, 
1888, to Miss Florence Pinneo, a daughter of John B. and Katharine (Conklin) 
Pinneo, the former a native of Nova Scotia and the latter of Illinois. Mr. and 
Mrs. Dibble have the following children, namely: Lottie E., born November 2, 
1888; Eugene, June 8, 1890; Ethel G., February 20, 1892; Ruth M., June 5, 
1897; and Duane, April 23, 1900. The family is one of prominence in the 
community where they reside and Mrs. Dibble is an earnest member of the 
Methodist church. Mr. Dibble takes an active interest in the community affairs 
and is serving his fifth year as township trustee. He is widely and favorbly 
known throughout the locality in which he makes his home, having resided here 
for over forty years.
