The Lake Odessa Wave, Thursday, April 24, 1902

James Dibble, who has been in very poor health for a long time, died at the 
home of his daughter, Mrs. D. L. Stine, last Monday night, at about eight 
o’clock.  Mr. Dibble was born in Massachusetts, on March 15, 1815.  He has 
been married twice, his first wife dying after a considerable family had been 
born to them; his second wife, with whom he has been a constant companion for 
over 50 years, survives him, but she too is in very poor health and feeble, 
and the loss of her life companion may mean her early demise.  These old 
people have lived with their daughter, Mrs. Stine, for nearly eight years.  
Mrs. Stine and a brother are the only living children of the second wife, 
while two boys and four daughters of the first wife survive.  

The funeral was held yesterday from the Congregational church Rev. Skentelbury 
officiated, and the remains interred in Lakeside cemetery.

Mr. and Mrs. Dibble had been residents of this state for over fifty years.  A 
short time ago the Wave contained a clipping from a Hastings paper which told 
how Mr. Dibble had chopped the forest from the land on which Hastings is now 
built.  He was one of the pioneers of that section of the state, coming there 
when all was a wilderness, and with him will forever be lost many tales of the 
hardships and life’s battles of our pioneers.
