TRIMBLE, Jane nee DODDS

DEATH OF MRS. JANE DODDS TRIMBLE,
An Early Settler of Canfield and the Oldest Person in Mahoning County – 
Lived Nearly a Century.
Mrs. Jane Dodds Trimble died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Plympton Gee, 
on Wadsworth street, last Sunday morning at 6 o’clock. Mrs. Trimble was no 
doubt the oldest person in Mahoning county. She was born in County Down, 
Ireland, August 3, 1801, and was therefore within five days of being one 
hundred years of age. She was married to William Trimble in Ireland, and the 
result of the union was six children, two of whom are living – Mrs. Elizabeth 
Knight of Ellsworth and Mrs. Plympton Gee of this place. The family came to 
America in 1849, locating in Canfield, but soon removed to a farm in Dublin, 
two miles southwest of the village. Mr. Trimble died in 1863, since which time 
Mrs. Trimble had made her home with her daughter, who for several years has 
resided in Canfield. Until within the past six months Mrs. Trimble was quite 
active, being able to assist in the household duties. Her mind was clear and 
she was a most interesting conversationalist. She was never so happy as when 
entertaining friends and neighbors. Plans had been partially made to celebrate 
the centennial of her birth, an occasion which she had for some time looked 
forward to with no little pleasure. Mrs. Trimble was a member of the 
Presbyterian church of which she was a regular attendant until recent years. 
Funeral services, conducted by Rev. Wm. Dickson, were held Tuesday afternoon 
at 2 o’clock. The burial was in the village cemetery.

Burial:
Section B Row 4 Canfield Village Cemetery, Canfield, Mahoning Co. OH
