He was born on the farm southwest of this city in Otisco township, May 1, 1880, the son of Henry and Lerna Rich Dibble. The farm was later sold to Harold Mawby and it was here that Mr. Dibble and his parents developed the apple orchard which they managed so successfully and where he lived with his mother after his father’s death until they moved into the city to the residence at 424 Pearl Street eleven years ago. The farm was originally purchased from the government by Mr. Dibble’s grandfather and had never changed hands until purchased by Mr. and Mrs. Mawby in April, 1944. Besides cousins, his only surviving relative is one brother, Arza of Traverse City. Funeral services will be held today, Thursday at 2 o’clock at Fitzjohn funeral home with Rev. Lester B. Thomas of the Greenville Episcopal church officiating. Entombment will be in the mausoleum at River Ridge cemetery. Pall bears will be Harold Mawby, Eugene Smith, Clayton Campbell, Glenn Wortley, Hugh Bigley and George Skellenger.
