From Littlefork Times and Littlefork Guardian, Thursday July 1937

Mrs. M. E. Scarlett- Dimon, pioneer of 1894, called to rest.
Never before in Koochiching county have so many real pioneers (men and 
women who came here when this part of the state was an untouched wilderness) 
gathered to pay their last respects to one of their own, as on Tuesday 
afternoon, when funeral services were held at the Baptist church in 
Littlefork, for the late Mrs. Mary Dimon.  She was a pioneer, coming to 
the Littlefork valley with her husband, A. T. Scarlett in 1894, and was 
according to the best records available, the first white woman on the 
Littlefork river.
She was loved not only by those hardy pioneers who knew her before the turn 
of the century, but by hundreds belonging to newer and younger generations, 
who have come since that time.
Mrs. Dimon, who died early Sunday morning, July 25th, from the ravages of 
cancer, was born in Denmark, July 23, 1864, and came to this country with 
her family as a little girl, and lived for a number of years in Duluth.
In 1888 she married Adam T. Scarlett, and together they came to the 
Littlefork valley in 1894, where they lived for many years.  They developed 
a fine farm.  Several years after Mr. Scarlett died she married M.E. Dimon, 
who died in 1920.  She is survived by one son, Raymond, and two stepsons, 
Leslie Dimon and Lee Dimon.
Rev. E.M. Roberts, former Baptist minister at International Falls, and an 
old friend, came all the way from Sandusky, Ohio, to preach the funeral 
sermon.  He was assisted by Rev. Charles Davis of International Falls,  
Rev. J. H. Davis and Rev. H. Olson, of this village.
Pallbearers were all early settlers: Charles Jameson, Nels Gustafson, 
P.L. Peterson, Francis White, B.G. Holden and George Dahl.
