AGED RESIDENT OF EL DORADO DIES

Mrs. Marshall Dillman, aged 84 years, died at 7:15 o’clock last evening at her 
home, 1202 West Sixth Avenue. She had been a resident of El Dorado for the past 
30 years. Jake S. Dillman, commander of the Capt. Edgar Dale Post of the 
American Legion, is a grandson.

Mrs. Dillman was born at Uniontown, Ohio, the daughter of Joshua and Ellen 
Cannon, and grew to young womanhood there. She lived for a number of years in 
Indiana, before coming to Kansas and making her home at El Dorado. Her marriage 
to Jacob Dillman took place at Logansport, Ind., in 1865. Mr. Dillman was a 
veteran of the Civil War, and the marriage took place one week after the close 
of the war. Mr. Dillman’s death occurred on March 12, 1922.

During her 30 years residence at El Dorado, Mrs. Dillman had made a great 
number of friends here, and she was respected and admired by all who knew her. 
Retaining good health despite her advanced age, Mrs. Dillman had always taken 
great interest in her family and many friends and was happy when she could make 
them happy. Her pleasing disposition and generous nature endeared her to all 
her associates. Mrs. Dillman’s death followed an illness of three weeks 
duration.

Mrs. Dillman was a member of the German Baptist Church, having joined when she 
was 18 years old.

Three daughters and one son survive. They are: Mrs. Myrtle Vanburg, Lincoln, 
Neb., Miss Nola Dillman, Devner, Col.; Mrs. Cora Mitchell, at home and W. S. 
Dillman who has charge of the city’s property at Lake El Dorado. Five other 
sons and daughters are deceased.

The funeral services will be held at 2:30 o’clock Sunday afternoon at the Byrd 
Funeral Home, and will be conducted by Rev. E. E. McFarlane, pastor of the El 
Dorado Baptist Church. Burial will be in the West Cemetery.
