ELEANOR WICOFF DIRRIM, 10 May 1820 - 14 May 1902

   Mrs. Elenor (Wicoff) Dirrim was born in Wayne county, Ohio, May 10, 
1820, and died at her home in Hamilton, Ind., May 14, 1902, aged 82 years 
and 4 days.  She was married to Isaac Dirrim, Feb. 17, 1835, and to this 
union were born twelve children, two dying in infancy, and three after 
reaching womanhood.  With their family, they came to DeKalb county in 
February, 1845.  Her husband died Aug. 8, 1892.  After her marriage she 
united with the M. E. church, and after coming to Indiana, she, with her 
husband, united with the U. B. church.  She was not able to attend 
religious services very much for some time, but did not forsake her God 
and Savior.  We trust that she is in the heavenly mansions where 
afflictions and sorrows never come.  Funeral services were held in the U. 
B. church, Hamilton, Thursday, May 15, Rev. Paul Barton, of the M. E. 
church, officiating.  Interment in the Hamilton cemetery.
